Once I could always hear the bees in the sun
or the birds in the trees at dawn
and once it was the neighbours,
but mostly it was us
Now I can’t hear anything anymore
For the roar of the silence in this house.
Once a glance was all it took
You know the look
But now all that would fall on blind eyes
And this is how it’s going to be
seems you can’t stand the sight of me
And I can’t stand the silence in this house
You said I looked so lovely once that you had to look away
in the days when you shouldn’t have been looking my way, anyway
Now all you do is look away
And all I do is sigh and cry and pray for singing in this house
Amen, singing again in this house.
