Moment of Quiet

I waited all day, for the middle of night

A sweet thing, a moment of quiet

We pine and pine, get turned inside out

For a sweet thing, a moment of quiet

Dusk has laid it on so thick

The trees hang low, looking so lovesick

If you see what I see, you couldn't deny it

A moment of quiet

The lines on the wall ripple and sway

A cutting look, a movement in darkness

I don't want to play games, I don't want to keep score

Eyes on the sky, eyes on the floor

Dusk has laid it on so thick

Saw the light on your face, but it was gone so quick

Ribbon of smoke so thick you could tie it

A moment of quiet

Have you heard singing roads converge in the strangest round?

Baby, have you heard oceans in the heavy highway sound?

I waited all night, for the middle of day

For a clear pane, an image of silence

We dream and dream and lie in wait

To see what's outside, an image of silence

Dusk has laid it on so thick

Trees hang low, looking so lovesick

Moon burning bright, shadows a riot

Have you heard curlews weep for the ones who can't return?

Have you heard fires on the water softly burn?

Have you heard singing roads converge in the strangest round?

Baby, have you heard?

Underneath the ground, there is no sound
