His Voice

Nostalgia plays through me
 Along with the radio
 A taste, a scene, a sound
 A touch is not enough
 If only i
 Had known his fear
 So torn and feeling frighened
 15 years have passed
 A sour taste still curls my tongue
 In despair, he danced the air
 A life became undone
 If only i
 Had recognized
 A silenced cry of sweet lies
 Ma, you know you can't hold me now
 Ma, would you like to hold me now
 I heard his voice
 The trace of tears
 Still live within that moment
 I heard his voice
 He lost his will
 One's fate revealed that moment
 I heard his voice
 The moment ends
 So much was said in silence
 Ma, you know you can't hold me now
 Ma, would you like to hold me now
 And if i could i would
 If what had happened then today
 I hold you close
 Not turn away
