For the Second Time - Iain Matthews

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

And 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 in law and stayed inside

And silence makes a very loud reply
