Lyrics The Beautiful Silence - And Also the Trees

The Beautiful Silence

I came upon a house
In a place I’d never been before
All painted white and open doors
With the sunlight dancing on the floor
I saw the wind in the spring trees
Smelt the poplar and the sun’s heat
And the meadows lie sleeping.
I found myself in a pale room
With a bolted door
And a beautiful silence
I saw a woman lying there
With the sunlight entwined in her auburn hair
And through the window floated many things
Photographs and letters and her wedding ring
And a child voice speaking.
I came upon a house
Somewhere I’d never been before
And in this lace of light and dark
I feel my heart sing joyously inside me.
