Listen

a heart which aches and begs to believe
listening in silence, whispering a plea
no secret longing do I hide away
sadly its whisper grows weaker each day

listening for hope that's been left behind
listening for small traces it can not find
baby, please listen before it all disappears
let your heart listen and try to hear

listen in that place where your heart hides
listen through the languor laying inside
baby, please listen for a love that is near
baby, please listen before it all disappears
