about

The silence in a broken relationship can even overshadow the beauty of summer.

lyrics

Summer silence descends like the clouds in my head to borrow you / For conversations about the digging of a grave / I don’t want your soul; I just want your arms // Down that road we kick the stones and fill the streams with laughing tears / A time of innocence, days of rain and nights of thirst / Drinking too deep we cannot bear to swallow // I hold your hand in deafening silence / And summer rain begins to fall / I'll say goodbye and I can’t even tell you why // Souls tripping over we break and repair the damage / The little pieces that never seem to fit so well again / The light shines through the cracks where they are missing // So here I am in plainclothes hidden and naked / Behind the innocence of days in the wasteland of the heart / You play the part, but let me wear the makeup // I hold your hand in deafening silence / And summer rain begins to fall / You'll say goodbye and I can’t even tell you why // Summer sadness descends like the clouds in my head to borrow you / For times of ritual without the digging of the grave / I don’t want your soul; I just need your arms / As night descends wrapped in summer silence // I hold your hand in deafening silence / And summer rain begins to fall / We'll say goodbye and I can’t even tell you why.
