Silence

Last night I woke up three times
And listened to the silence
It danced a weird ballet around my room

It was so strange, like the shape of
An unkown man had always stood there
Watching me come watching me go
And now he's gone, now he's gone

Even though I know the rain may fall
At moments you can never tell
I never knew silence could fall so unexpectedly
And wash away his shadow

I realized that the voice of
The unknown man was always there
Blackmailing, denying my right to live and laugh
For so long the power of his voice sang within me
His heartbeat in me it pounded so strong
On and on

In an album full of photographs
The colours dim and pale
The memories and the faces
The story of my life
Became images of violence
Screaming figures in the dark
How could I forget!

Riding the wings of magical silence
Unwinding a thread so heavy and old
Riding the clouds as the sun burned gold
And wake up, with stardust raining inside my soul

Last night I woke up three times
And listened to the silence
Beyond time and space
The shadows fail to reach me
Above me, the planets moon
And the stars spin around me
Watching down over me
A universal symphony

The silence, mother-like and so sweet
Rocks me in her arms
The voices and the shadows
Swept away by the silent dance...
Will we ever meet again?
Watching and listening the night
Fades into morning light

Riding the wings of magical silence
Unwinding a thread so heavy and old
Riding the clouds as the sun burned gold
And wake up, with stardust raining inside my soul
