[Verse]
Night so quiet it cuts like a blade
Clock ticks loud
Endless parade
Every second drags
Every thought burns deep
Where are you now? I can't even sleep
[Prechorus]
Letters fading
Ink won't last
Hold onto hope
But time moves fast
[Chorus]
When will they come home? Tell me
When
Days feel like years
Over and again
Will I see that face
Hear that laugh
Or is it all just a photograph?
[Verse 2]
The wind howls outside
A ghostly song
Memories of you
Where you belong
Sand and smoke
That faraway fight
While I'm drowning in the silence of night
[Prechorus]
The phone won't ring
The world won't pause
Fighting shadows
For a noble cause
[Chorus]
When will they come home? Tell me
When
This waiting tears me apart
Again and again
Will they walk through that door
Safe and whole
Or will this ache forever own my soul?
