His Voice

(Guillory, LaBrie)

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
