voices

Voices from far away
so very far away
maybe it's yesterday
calling
it's calling

Sweet sounds that I hear
whispers up in my ear
tears so very near
falling
they're falling

My eyes have sprang a leak
tears now upon my cheek
words I try to speak
stalling
still stalling

To only remind me
of the sorrows that bind me
to the burdens life finds me
hauling
I'm hauling
