Lyrics
Softly Over
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
it's over, there's nothing more to say
silent comes the night time, end another summers day
i can just remember, or is this the dream that never goes away.
(chorus)
understand me, i'm calling -
understand me, can you hear me call.
night time, surely it's a lie,
no-one ever told me, i just let the chance go by
wishing there was time enough, you tell me there's no time, but
i can try.
(chorus repeat)
speak now, without the summer light
all the words i should have spoken, when you held me tight
still i'll keep in calling, till the morning ends another
lonelynight.
(chorus repeat)
i'll be waiting for you hoping, that someday you'll hear me
calling
but there's never any answer, just the echo of the call
