Story Behind The Song
The song tells it all.
Song Description
About the sometimes subtle communication between men and women in relationships on the verge of collapse. If one can get past all the emotions, they might pick up the subtle signs of life still in the relationship. That where they think it is over, there still lies a pulse. Too ften people are too ready to just walk away.

Lyrics
Now we raise the wires up into the sky
And send our signals through the night
Emotions at the speed of light
Across the great divide
Faintly we receive
What seemed so hard to believe
With all these signs of life
Furrowed brows and eyes closed tight
The soul's release -- a painful cry
For all the broken years
Washed with swollen tears
I pray this will one day cease?
Will it offer no release?
With all these signs of life
We turn our towers and signals to the night
We send the message up into the sky
Can we manage at this pace
When I see the wear upon your face
Do you not receive?
Does this offer no relief?
With all these signs of life
(Repeat and fade)
