lyrics

How Long

The songwriters are silenced now
The poets lonely voice is composing for an audience of one
No hall no microphone no lights no stage
The lines of interaction are undone
So many empty spaces now between us, you and me
In all the empty places where our music used to be

How long, till we can sing together again?
How long, how long?
How long, till we can share our lives, the beauty and pain?
In our songs
How long?

We can stream our words and melodies
But it can never be the same it can never quite replace the human touch
The mysterious art of music when a song’s shared face to face
It’s the emotional connection is what we miss so much
While these distances between us are keeping us apart
You can’t lockdown imagination you can’t quarantine a heart

How long….

These distances between us are keeping us apart
You can’t lockdown imagination you can’t quarantine a heart

How long….
