How Strange The Silence

The Devil and the Almighty Blues

Compositor: Não Disponível

How strange the silence
Deep and timeless
It lays heavy in the night time air

All those voices
Lost and waiting
Echo through a windless night

Words found wanting
Words forgotten
I treated my own words like slaves

O, silence
How strange the silence
When all is gone and taken away

Speak from the heart
Let the soul out
Or bind your tongue and speak not at all

O, fire
Sacred fire
Your warmth is lost on these old bones

So it all went
And passed us by
Those days are gone, oh so long gone

O, silence
How strange the silence
When all is gone and taken away
