Hannah, My Ophelia

All our lives

We've been here

Close to the center

Of the largest grinding gear

Things we knew

We know 'cause we stayed near

You were my love

For all of my best years

Rifles crack

Their lonesome sound

For 20 miles outside of town

Tears fall on my muddy feet

I quiver as the pulleys squeak

As they lower you so slowly in

The ground

Your niece, she sings

An angel's song

Hannah, love, I hope it won't be long

Hannah, I hope it won't be long
