Silent Scream

I can’t sleep tonight
So instead I’ll stay up and look at the skies
Stormy clouds roll as lightning strikes
I’m humming lullabies
But no you can’t hear…

I’m thinking of you
As those memories stream down the window pane
I cannot drown them in the rain
Can’t kill them with my pain
And so you won’t hear…

-Chorus-
I waited at the edge of the earth for you to come back
I prayed and I hoped, I wished and I dreamed
And as the thunder crashes and the lightning takes me back to you
I’m just hoping that you hear my silent scream…

The clock goes “tick, tick”
I think it’s midnight cause the radio stopped
I reach for the phone but I put it back
I might wake her up
If I call now…

-Chorus-
I waited at the edge of the earth for you to come back
I prayed and I hoped, I wished and I dreamed
And as the thunder crashes and the lightning takes me back to you
I’m just hoping that you hear my silent scream…

-Bridge-
As the storm rolls trough
I make my wish, knowing it won’t come true
I lay my head down
Feeling sorry I wasted another wish on you

-Chorus-
I waited at the edge of the earth for you to come back
I prayed and I hoped, I wished and I dreamed
And as the thunder crashes and the lightning takes me back to you
I’m just hoping that you hear my silent scream…

Wonderful This really is amazing: deep, emotional, I love it! Looking forward to more songs from you

Aaaah Angel I missed your "signature" brand of lyrics so much I can't even tell you. And in this one, the last lines of the first stanza grabbed me right away, like the brakes on my car pulling me to a stop-on-a-dime:

I’m humming lullabies
But no you can’t hear…

And this:

As those memories stream down the window pane
I cannot drown them in the rain

The emotion-imagery is just marvelous. My lyrics maestro is back

Thanks <3 I actually thought it was a piece of crap & all the rock songs I've listened to did nothing good to me, haha. Stay tuned, I'll post more soon.

It has been some time since we have had the pleasure of your lyrics. It was worth waiting for, of course

I forgot to "like" this before. How could I???
It's also funny that I thought the last 2 or 3 that I posted were lousy when I first wrote them, but I guess they improved with age like wine or something
