To Set in the West

Her eyes are heavy.

I'd lighten the load-

if she'd only let me.

If she let down her wall-

she'd never regret me.

I just want her to smile.

I'd change that frown-

if she'd stay for a while.

I'd lighten her load-

that's just not her style.

Like this since day one.

Stands her ground-

while others run.

Fighting the fight-

'till the battle's won.

But she knows best.

Carrying her load-

until eternal rest.

Follows the sun-

to set in the west.
