Waiting for the wire

Skirmish: On the wire (@rinwolf)

Liner Notes

More wire related singers. Still a fine prompt!

Lyrics

We haven’t heard a word Waiting for the line to arrive And though it seems so absurd No news is good news I think we will survive

We’re waiting for some word But nothing’s come through yet The politicians take their time It takes a while, to make it to the front line We’re still waiting for the words

We haven’t heard a word But we have seen the signs Planes are circling overhead Searching for us, cataloguing the dead We haven’t heard a word

What’s holding up the wire Instant communication Faster with smoke signals We’re waiting for the wire Nothing to do but wait

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen someone so inspired by a skirmish to drop three songs for it. That’s really impressive. Glad you enjoyed the prompt so much! Really like the lyrics here, somber and direct
