He watched them alive at the beach in the sun
As the waves crashed the shore he reloaded his gun
And he prayed, and he prayed for an answer
All night on the road as he drove for the pines
With his high beams
Alert looking out for a sign that might save him
That might make him feel
That might save him
He knew what he was
She knew what he is
He knew how to die
She knew how to live
They came from the town to the site where she passed
In a whirl of leaves in the tall autumn grass
They buried her there in the neck of the woods
Where the man was last seen as a shadow
He knew what he was
She knew what he is
He knew how to die
She knew how to live
