Plainsong - For the Second Time lyrics

I came home to find the lights all burning bright And I was feeling good inside A friend had seen me through the night And you know that thing that hits you When you realize you've thrown it far too high And as I called your name around the place In silence was the very loud reply I saw it in movies and I smiled When Little Egypt she slipped away Left us sitting in the aisles And the fallacy of running From disaster or a river cracked and dry And as I waited half-expecting her In silence was the very loud reply For the second time in a year I was broken, I was broken I was broken (broken) And for the second time in a year I was broken, I was broken I was broken (broken) I disbelieved the law and stayed inside In silence makes the very loud reply
