Speak To Me

Speak To Me

By Paul McCann

Speak to me ,

won’t you speak to me

or I might just have to talk to myself.

The long shadows are falling

and I’m reaching out

for that bottle on the shelf once again  ,

I’m going to swallow it down,

all the pain inside ,

it’s a lonely feeling that I can’t hide

Speak to me ,

won’t you speak to me

and tell me all the things you’re going to do ,

seems everybody else around here knows what’s going on

except for me , what can I do .

I’m being swallowed in an ocean ,

tossing me around

and I can feel myself being slowly drowned .

Speak to me , won’t you speak to me ,

I feel like I’m a million miles away.

You  always leave me wondering why ,

give me a clue in the things that you say  ,

I’ve swallowed all my pride

and it eats me up inside .

I’m still waiting for you

to stand by my side

Speak to me , I’m right here ,

tell me now in my ear.

In my heart speak to me

In your eyes can’t you see ,

what your love means to me ,

.
