I'd never known her to cry But this time is different for sure She's shaking with tears in her eyes As she picks up what's left of the night The hope for a reason seemed pure As we leave what's left on the wall
But oh how it's taken its toll Oh how it's taken its toll Everything's taken its toll Everything's taken its toll
There was more then a break in the smiles They rose and slowly they tired As she turned the moments were made There were none that could prove where she lay There's a calm in the stories now told And the distance will always be home
And oh how it's taken its toll Oh how it's taken its toll Everything's taken its toll Everything's taken its toll
Everything's taken its toll It's a moment we carry alone With a cause there's a cure for the soul But oh how it's taken its toll Oh how it's taken its toll
