Lyrics

[00:20.50] When the wind dies down and the howling stops
[00:24.58] The hurting starts, then I hear your name
[00:34.30] In this quiet time, this aching time
[00:37.91] I can hear your fingers on the window pane
[00:44.12]
[00:47.52] If I was in the dark, if I was in the light
[00:50.78] If we were walking through the forests of the night together
[01:01.39] If we were taken down, down into the heart
[01:04.54] Of the blackest night where we could sleep forever
[01:11.14]
[01:15.24] Keep quiet, I hear you
[01:21.91] Keep quiet, I hear you
[01:27.73]
[01:42.47] When you sing, I think I know more than I hear you speak
[01:53.42] I have to keep it close enough to me
[02:00.37] 'Cause I don't want to disrupt all you think
[02:07.10] And I don't want to disturb what we keep quiet
[02:16.18]
[02:17.82] Baby, with these open arms I pray,
[02:25.37] I will not see the day without you
[02:38.34] Homeless is the driving wind
[02:44.37] and I will run away with him without you, without you
[03:16.65]
[03:25.46] When you sing, I have to keep it close just as a hymn
[03:36.27] And in your breath I know just what you sing
[03:43.45] And spoken words might not be what we speak
[03:50.08] 'Cause in our lungs there's something that we keep quiet
[04:00.95]
