You were worth the weight and the gun pressed to my temple
The barrel was cold
Alaska as pale as us as you $$#embled my hand to hold


We were then our own little island on the horizon
Our flag white and red

And you were a combination of my highest elation and all

And I was smaller than I had ever been

Watching the cracks form under you and me

You exceeded any description that could be given to cite your grace

And I'll wait for the click of a trigger or the years to wither me and take
Me away


And I was smaller than I had ever been
Watching the cracks form under you and me
And we were nothing to the wild and turning sea

But you were worth everything you were worth this defeat

You were worth this defeat

You were worth this defeat
