She spent the last of her teenage years
At home alone with her worst fears
When the telegraph came, she did not know who to blame

She walks alone 
The War that took her husband's life
It made a widow of his wife
The world came crashing in, she made a haunt to rest with him

She walks alone!

She leaves the flowers on his grave
The last one we forgot to save
A note of long regrets, the pension checks are all she gets
