August 1961 stole
The taste of freedom
The life I used to know

Sixteen long years
To wait and wonder
Did she make, safely make, is she still alive?
If she's still breathin'
Then I'm still waiting
No hope in love
Love, love

Scream at the thought
It's not okay
And you dream of the day she'll be here
Oh, hey

I still remember
The last note you sent
Eight simple words said
"No hope in love,
No hope in waiting"
No hope in hell
That I'll stop waiting
That I'll stop loving you

You still loved him
You'd wait for him
No hope in love
Love, love

Scream at the thought,
It's not okay
You dream of the day she'll be here
Your last dying wish would be to see her one last time

Wall came down
Wall down
Wall down

Scream at the thought
No hope
Scream at the last thing
Scream at the last thing that you said
There's no hope in love it's just inside your head
