Marilyn

The silence echoes through the empty halls No salutations... something was very wrong She went searching for signs of life with hope... but nothing was found. On the floor he lay All the air when cold The gravity of all her fears Taking hold. Now the bitter tears of despair streaming down her face Silence shattered by the mourning cry His soul taken away She embraces reality with hope in spite of the pain [Chorus:] So in spite of all her fear she will never run away This is her life One last kiss goodbye Tear drops on roses Her held held up While the pain imposes [Chorus:] So in spite of all her fears she will Never run away And as she soaks the ground with tears she says "I will not run away. This is my life" Black cars with flags... the cemetery quiet and still No words of comfort can assuage the agony of loss Above herself she reaches to find strength to carry on As she turns to face her life alone bearing so much pain She sees his eyes and finds her hope looking upon her daughters face [Chorus] The silence echoes through the empty halls...
