Silent Song

there is a silence in my heart
as I stand by the water
watching the waves at play

there is a silence in my heart
as I listen to the wind
whipping round my feet of clay

there is a silence in my heart
as I think of how once I loved -
and lost you yesterday

can those waves turn back the time
when I was yours and you were mine?

yes - there is a silence in my heart
as I leave this breathless day
to think of you
to think of you
to think of you this way
