How Strange The Silence
The Devil and the Almighty Blues
Continues after the ad
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
Continues after the ad
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
