The silence of the night surrounds me
after you send that goodnight text...

Holding yourself together
when the world expects you to fall...

Silence is my only greeting
as I sit alone in the night...

Hanging up the phone tonight
after talking to you across the miles...

Swirling eddies,
twisting, turning...

Contemplating the twists and turns of life,
the ever constant change of time...

I was sitting here thinking 'bout years ago,
those simple, easy days of youth...

A dark deserted crossroads,
eerily silent and bare...

Staring out the darkened window
watching all the passing cars...

This life is to much to take,
the pain is to much to hold...

The night is dark and long
and the tears won't be held back...

I want so much to tell you,
to share whats in my heart...
