Awaiting Reply (When All We Have Left Is Silence)

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!
