Softly over

It's over, there's nothing more to say
Silent comes the night time, end another summer's day
I can just remember, or is this the dream that never goes away

[chorus]
Understand me, I'm calling
Understand me, can you hear me call

Night time, surely it's a lie
No-one ever told me, I just let the chance go by
Wishing there was time enough, you tell me there's no time, but I can try

[chorus]

Speak now, without the summer light
All the words I should have spoken, when you held me tight
Still I'll keep on calling, till the morning ends another lonely night

[chorus]

I'll be waiting for you hoping, that someday you'll hear me calling
But there's never any answer, just the echo of the call

Note: Another song of love gone wrong, 'Softly over' speaks of chances not taken. The lyrics leave a lot to imagination, but there are images of a summer encounter (a holiday love?) that was over before it really started - too late to mend, but a memory that may last for a long time.
