This silence I can break with my guitar.
The lovely, lovely sound she makes
Masks a feeling I can’t shake
That in my empty room
I’ve been waiting up at night for you and
There is nothing I can do
This chilly air is warmer with a drink.
And lonely, lonely is this night
So why’ve I put up such a fight?
Now since I’ve been alone
I’ve been waiting up at night for you and
Wishing you were waiting too.
Now when we meet for breakfast I am lost for words.
I just want to hear your voice and
Hear you make a choice.
Be it me or him
I will pray the lord our souls to keep,
And either way I’ll get some sleep.
If you’ve got to go and break my heart
So it goes I’ll love again,
And I’ll still be your friend.
So I’d love to try
Laying down to sleep at night with you
And trusting love to see us through.
