The Beautiful Silence

And Also The Trees

I came upon a house

In a place I'd never been before

All painted white and open doors

With the sunlight dancing on the floor

I saw the wind in the spring trees

I smelt the poplar and the sun's heat

And the meadows lie sleeping

Lalalalala

Lalalalalalala[x2]

I found myself in a pale room

With a bolted door and a beautiful silence

I saw a woman lying there

With the sunlight entwined in her auburn hair

And through the window floated many things

Photographs and letters and her wedding ring

And a child voice speaking

Lalalalala

Lalalalalalala[x2]

I came upon a house

Somewhere I'd never been before

And in this place of light and dark

I feel my heart sing joyously inside me

Lalalalala

Lalalalalalala[x2]
