Trey Anastasio - When the Words Go Away
41
Copied!
The snow's coming faster, my view around the bend
A beautiful valley tucked into a glen
Can barely be seen, but where is the wind?
Where is the noise? Where are voices again?
Locked in a capsule for time without end
Watching the world through a pane or a lens
There's nothing to fear when there's nobody near
But silence can kill and there's lots of it here
We decided to part, each make a new start, but I didn't know
What you take when you go
Now I'm beholden to silence not golden
There's nothing to say when the words go away
Embraced isolation is never a choice
I long for the comfort I get from your voice
The vacuum of sound that you leave when you go
Is spreading the silence around us like snow
We decided to part, each make a new start, but I didn't know
What you take when you go
Now I'm beholden to silence not golden
There's nothing to say when the words go away
When the words go away
When the words go away
When the words go away
When the words go away
A beautiful valley tucked into a glen
Can barely be seen, but where is the wind?
Where is the noise? Where are voices again?
Locked in a capsule for time without end
Watching the world through a pane or a lens
There's nothing to fear when there's nobody near
But silence can kill and there's lots of it here
We decided to part, each make a new start, but I didn't know
What you take when you go
Now I'm beholden to silence not golden
There's nothing to say when the words go away
Embraced isolation is never a choice
I long for the comfort I get from your voice
The vacuum of sound that you leave when you go
Is spreading the silence around us like snow
We decided to part, each make a new start, but I didn't know
What you take when you go
Now I'm beholden to silence not golden
There's nothing to say when the words go away
When the words go away
When the words go away
When the words go away
When the words go away
