Lyrics
SONG OF THE BROKEN HEARTS
(They Waited At Home)
She waited at home,
saw it on TV,
sat by the phone,
watched helplessly.
He waited at home,
'mid starin' walls,
in the empty rooms
and the silent halls.
chorus:
"Only God
can comfort me.
Why must I love
when it breaks so deep?
"How can I bear
this pain and strife
When my true love
is torn from life?"
Bride roamed the streets,
in her gown of ash.
His sweet, sad smile
hung from her sash.
Man searched the wards,
photos everywhere.
But the smoke crouched thick,
and the earth hid her.
(chorus)
Girl cried all night,
couldn't go to school,
bit her fingernails
down to cuticles.
Boy broke his toys,
wouldn't mind his mom,
tossed 'n turned each night
with the lights all on.
chorus:
"Oh please don't let
me see TV!
When is he home?
Where's my daddy!
"And why must God
make humans free?
When it frees the bad
to orphan me?"
Well they waited at home.
They waited at home.
They waited at home.
They waited at home.
chorus:
And we can't know
their pain and grief.
There's nothin' left
but time and sleep.
Yes we can't know
their pain and grief.
There's nothin' left
but time and sleep.
They waited at home . . .
