Waiting

TIME PASSES SLOWLY 
AS YOU WAIT BY THE PHONE
HE SHOULD BE THERE WITH YOU
 BUT YOU SIT ALL ALONE
THE FAR OFF CONFLICT 
THAT TOOK HIM AWAY
SO SOON AFTER YOUR WEDDING
 THE VERY NEXT DAY
IT SHOULDN'T BE SO
 SHOULD BE HERE BY YOUR SIDE
NO-ONE THERE TO GIVE COMFORT 
SO YOU SIT AND YOU CRY
TALES OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION 
IN THE NEWS AND TV
AND IT TOOK HIM AWAY 
FROM THE PLACE HE SHOULD BE
YOU SIT AND YOU WAIT
 FOR THE DAMN PHONE TO RING
KNOWING YOU'LL NEVER EHAR HIS VOICE AGAIN 
TO MAKE YOUR HEART SING
HE IS GONE NOW FOREVER
AND YOU KNOW YOU MUST PART
ONLY MEMORIES LEFT NOW 
AND A HOLE FOR A HEART
