listen...

———————————- ———————————-

walkin’ the hills on a cold winters day
sun in the sky but no heat from the rays
deer in the distance not lookin’ my way
and we talk and we talk but you just never hear what I say

ghosts of our love haunting unmarked graves
lyin’ in limbo with all hell to pay
screamin’ for fear that they can’t find their way
and I try and I try though you just won’t hear anything I have to say

when it’s late in the night
and the moonshine wanes
and I lie here waitin’ for the phone to ring
but the phone doesn’t ring
no the phone never rings
and there’s nothin’

walkin’ the streets on a cold winters night
moon in the sky playin’ shadows of light
sirens at distance must shatter the quiet
and we wish and we may but you can’t seem to hear what I say

clouds castin’ shade over what might have been
if only it could have, yeah would have been
and all the lost souls cryin’ out for amends
while I plead and I pray still you just won’t listen to anything I say

now it’s late in the night
and the moonshine’s wanin’
as I lie here waitin’ for the phone to ring
but the phone doesn’t ring
no the phone never rings
‘til there’s nothin’
