Wind is blowing, snow is driving
Rain is lashing, lightning's crashing
As I lay beneath this willow tree
I sit my back against the stone
Come the morning war is dawning
Can't escape what's coming after me
And I tremble now not for fear of death
The steely blade or the devil's breath
I just want to see your face again
Tryin' to keep my thoughts together
They unravel, come untethered
This weather's trying to get inside of me
I pulled your picture from my buggy
Like a hair inside this locket
It's all I've got to keep my sanity
And I tremble now not for fear of death
The steely blade or the devil's breath
I just want to see your face again
Lord give me strength to see it through
To stand up tall, fight bold and true
I know exactly what I have to do
Underneath tomorrow's skies
I promise I won't flinch or fly
I swear I'll make it for the sake of you
And I tremble now not for fear of death
The steely blade or the devil's breath
I just want to see your face again
I chase the sound of laughter in my dreams
But everything is different from what it seems to be
I see the shadow through the dark
Haunting shades of happiness from times with you before
Light comes softly without warning
I lift my eyes to meet the morning
Time has come to face reality
Oh I feel you place your hand in mine
You beckon me across that line
Just one more step into eternity
And I tremble now not for fear of death
The steely blade or the devil's breath
Oh I just want to see your face again
Oh, to see your face again
Yeah, oh, to see your face again
Yeah, oh, to see your face again
Yeah, to see your face again
Oh, to see your face again
