The Silence Between Us

There were trails of fallen trees

Deciduous and weeding marsh

The lowland birds and crickets roared

The final sound of fall

Along the banks of the river

We approached the footbridge

Entering the wilderness

Following my footstep

The silence between us is the time

When I can't hear the thoughts

That's on your mind, yeah

Beyond the panic and worried that

Seems to consume most every thought

There lies a calm and steady hand

That someday you might see

Perhaps it isn't what you wanted

Or even what you're looking for

But once you see the symmetry

Once you see the you and me

The silence between us is the time

When I can't hear the thoughts

That's on your mind, yeah

While others were so nervous

The words will disappear

What thoughts are on your mind, yeah

You park the car outside the Holiday Inn

We cross the highway single file

And you were walking in a hurry

And there was me without water with a smile, yeah

The silence between us is the time

When I can't hear the thoughts

That's on your mind, yeah

While others were so nervous

The words will disappear

What thoughts are on your mind, yeah

On your mind, yeah

On your mind, yeah

On your mind, yeah
