Softly Over

(Vince Clarke)

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

Understand me, I’m calling
Understand me now, can’t you hear me call
Understand me, I’m calling
Understand me now, can’t 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

Understand me, I’m calling
Understand me now, can’t you hear me call
Understand me, I’m calling
Understand me now, can’t you hear me call

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

Understand me, I’m calling
Understand me now, can’t you hear me call
Understand me, I’m calling
Understand me now, can’t you hear me call

Understand me, I’m calling
Understand me now, can’t you hear me call
Understand me, I’m calling
Understand me now, can’t you hear me call

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
