Standard (EADGBE)

Something set me thinking,

When i opened up my eyes

 That there was nothing there to tell me

 I'd been listening to lies.

 But in silence there is truth

 There is beauty, there is love

 There is nothing in the silence

 To be frightened of.

Her retreat and so few words

 Is the last thing you'd expect.

 But there's danger in assuming

 That she's being direct.

 Take a look behind her eyes

 And you will see.

 That she knows nothing of silence

Silence can only come from me.

Allow me then a little time

 To listen to their voices.

 It's the glamour and confusion,

 It's the rattling and the noises.

 That obscure the truth, the beauty

 And the love.

 And their clarity that silence

 Is the guardian of.

 She talks of clarity and silence

 Of beauty and of truth.

 But search her heart for evidence

Search herself for proof.

 Take a look behind her eyes

 And you will see.

 That she knows nothing of silence

Silence can only come from me.
