Radio Silence

Since radio silence
And yet each song
Still tears a paper heart
From Elvis to Paul
From Hank to Patsy
There is nowhere to escape
The days of radio pain

So with deep affection
I wish you pain
From shards of broken promise

Songs of solace
Driving in the rain
Each one reminds me of
A love that still remains
I need music in my life
To carry me away
Each song just carries me
To a hurting memory
To a place I don't want to be
But radio silence
Gives you final victory

We all still cling
So stubbornly
To hope that somehow
The person who pushed us free
Will return
