Shaking

There’s a silence in the doorway
Shadows stretching through the room
Every word I never whispered
Still hangs heavy like perfume

And I’m waiting, I’m breaking
For a voice that won’t appear
I’m aching, I’m shaking
Talking to an empty chair

Every song I try to finish
Always fades into your name
Every dream I thought was endless
Burns like paper in the flame

And I’m waiting, I’m breaking
For a voice that won’t appear
I’m aching, I’m shaking
Talking to an empty chair

All the echoes, they surround me
Like a choir without a prayer
And I reach but nothing’s there

And I’m waiting, I’m breaking
For a voice that won’t appear
I’m aching, I’m shaking
Talking to an empty chair
