Q&A
The Silence Lyrics
I acquired knowledge and remained a fool
And I required her to love me and my ignorance
She found that she could not save time
So she saved her breath
And she became the silence in my life
Was it the fear of God or just the fear or fear?
That made a habit out of loving and kept her here?
You can't turn on the sunshine
Like you can turn off the light
So she became the darkness in my life
Love's quiet inefficiency ran us down
Left us like the feelgood years left the old good town
I saw the ocean and the sea blue sky
Become one alone
As she became the silence in my life
I met you where the railway line disappeared
You said we learn to love among volunteers
But love involves conscription
Sometimes when you're young
But now we sing between the silence in my life
We sing between the silence in my life
And I required her to love me and my ignorance
She found that she could not save time
So she saved her breath
And she became the silence in my life
That made a habit out of loving and kept her here?
You can't turn on the sunshine
Like you can turn off the light
So she became the darkness in my life
Left us like the feelgood years left the old good town
I saw the ocean and the sea blue sky
Become one alone
As she became the silence in my life
You said we learn to love among volunteers
But love involves conscription
Sometimes when you're young
But now we sing between the silence in my life
We sing between the silence in my life
