Whispers to an Old Friend

Silent screams beneath the southern sky

Whispered truths she can't deny

Longing for a voice from the past

A friendship that was built to last

She's sitting on the porch, moon is hanging low

Memory slipping through the cracks, she’s got nowhere to go

Heart heavy with secrets, shadows in her mind

Wishing she could turn back time

The words behind her lips want to break free

But she's afraid of what they might be

Fighting tears and fears, feeling so alone

All she wants is to pick up the phone

Oh, she's just a southern woman, screaming in her soul

Yearning for her older friend, to make her whole

Knows she can't do this on her own, she’s got to find a way

To reach the one who can help her today

Dusty roads and memories still linger near

Letters she never sent, drowning in her tears

She’s haunted by the past, caught in a silent plea

Hoping her friend will hear her softly

The words behind her lips want to break free

But she's afraid of what they might be

Fighting tears and fears, feeling so alone

All she wants is to pick up the phone

Oh, she's just a southern woman, screaming in her soul

Yearning for her older friend, to make her whole

Knows she can't do this on her own, she’s got to find a way

To reach the one who can help her today

Maybe the stars will guide her through the night

A hidden message just out of sight

Old friends have a way of mending scars

Connecting hearts, no matter where they are

So she prays on the wind, hopes it finds its way

Her voice a whisper, come what may

Just needing that old friend, to hear her cry

And help her find her peace tonight
