THE REFRAIN

Tonight I can’t escape…
The sound of falling rain –
The sound we shared before our world was torn apart.
I still recall the time…
When your hand last held mine
Now lonely hours pass without knowing your touch.

Why….can I not hear you?
Why….can I not feel you?

They say we’ll meet again;
That this is not the end,
But I can’t face the journey if I walk alone.
I’m so unsettled here
I want to disappear
I want to sleep forever in your loving arms.

Why….can I not hear you?
Why….can I not feel you?
As I cry out…

Cry…
Cry...
Cry…
Cry…
Cry…

Why….can I not hear you?
Why….can I not feel you?

Why?
Why?
Why?
I need an answer…
As I cry out.
