This Silence

Her voice on the wire

across the ocean

static sound

Her words on the wire

across the sky

underground

At the end of your language

at the end of your time

I’m just a sinner

at the end of a long line

[Chorus]

If I could change I would

I would change this silence

If I could change I would

I would change this sound

So you didn’t know what to say

you didn’t say anything at all

You forgot how to stand up straight

now all you do is fall

We used to hear all the songs

Now all those songs are through

Now the music that you hear

is the silence coming true

[Chorus]

I can’t hear you

I can’t hear you anymore

But can you hear me?
