Dear when I touch your face
I can no longer hear
The sound of a million hearts
Beating together as one
And when the night is gone
And when the dawn has come
I will take the daylight on
My cheeks will dry off in the sun
Though my heart once was broke, it's been mended
And the sting of the fracture has ended
But still the sound of the hearts that are breaking
And boots that are knocking pervades
Before the day that I first touched your face
Oh, the roar of these things filled my ears
Then I embraced you and (made partly deaf)
I could just hear our breath as we breathed
Up 'til that day I could hear them
And the sound as they broke, it was fearsome
That was until your arms opened up wide
And the treasure therein was made mine
There is a noise that is taking their place
In the hollow of my inner ear
It is far more than the sum of its parts
A white noise as warm as the sun
Now that I've found you dear
Their plight has lost immediacy
And now that I've touched your face
The noise fades from memory
I guess we'll forget the sound
I guess, I guess
My cheeks will dry off in
The sun, the sun
I guess we'll forget the sound
I guess, I guess
