Silence

Silence I left the city and all I knew Took my young son from the heartbeat and the clamor And the shotgun sleepers to these rolling hills We're all you hear for days, All you hear for days Is the silence, It is the silence, It is the silence It speaks for me But I remember a man I knew Drinking got worse when he lost his job But he's my son's daddy will always be But it was not living, not living for me So I left him to the silence Left him to the silence, Left him to the silence It speaks for me And I won't be laid out by a mile of yesterdays My dream is filled with sky and my voice is louder And it cuts through the night and breaks the silence x2 Silence, silence, silence It speaks for me Music and Lyrics by Carrie and Libby Johnson Copyright 1994
