Lyrics For the Second Time - Iain Matthews

For the Second Time

I came home to find the lights all burning bright
And I was feeling good inside
A friend had seen me through the night
And you know that thing that hits you
When you realize you’ve thrown it far too high
And as I called your name around the place
In silence was the very loud reply
I saw it in movies and I smiled
When Little Egypt she slipped away
And left us sitting in the aisles
And the fallacy of running
From disaster or a river cracked and dry
And as I waited half-expecting her
In silence was the very loud reply
For the second time in a year
I was broken, I was broken
I was broken (Broken)
And for the second time in a year
I was broken, I was broken
I was broken (Broken)
I disbelieved in law and stayed inside
And silence makes a very loud reply
