Awaiting Reply (When All We Have Left Is Silence) - Convictions

My friend

It’s been so long since I’ve heard from you

(Five years too long)

Where have you been?

Where have you gone?

It’s getting colder

It’s getting colder

Where have you gone?

Where have you been?

It’s getting colder now

I miss you

I miss you so much

Where have you gone?

Where have you gone?

And I will always be

Waiting and searching

Awaiting your reply and never letting go

Of the memory (your memory)

Of the memory

Waiting for your reply

Never letting go of the memory

Oh!

All I’ve got is this paper and pen

Is this silence all I have left?

I can’t hide it

I can’t fight it

When will the sun rise again?

Again?!

Tell me that you’re breathing

Tell me that you’re safe

Tell me that I’m dreaming

Tell me you are safe

Tell me this isn’t real

Tell me you’re safe and sound

And I will always be

Waiting (waiting) and searching (searching)

Awaiting your reply and never letting go

Of the memory

Of the memory

Why so young?

Why not me?

Taken son

Broken dreams

Dear God, a letter we’ve sent

Casket enclosed holding our friend

(We place our bodies in lonely grounds)

(But send our lost souls off to be found)

OH!
