SONG LYRICS (By Steve Anderson): VERSE 1:
I can taste the loneliness
as I sit alone waiting for your call.
Staring at the faded picture;
A distant siren whales in the night.
VERSE 2:
As I touch the darkness
thinking back when you were mine,
I can't erase the memory of your face
looking back at me.
PRE-CHORUS:
Oh how I tried to make you stay.
CHORUS:
I... I can taste the loneliness of my heart.
VERSE 3:
The city streets below filled with laughter,
while memories of you flash through my mind,
those long and rainy nights I held you so tight.
