Lyrics

You feel in the tangle of limbs
For the lamb's fragile foreleg
Furled in the dark of the ewe's crowded womb
Though the air is filled with the sea's roar
And wind sweeps the grass
Silence falls
You look into the face of your newborn child
An unopened bud
Tight-shouldered sleep
You feel his small weight
Heavy in your arms
And though voices surround you
And there's clatter in the corridors
Silence falls
You untie, float into the night
Into the night
Over the hill the vast cloud turns
Orion strangles through fields of stars
And the Perseids sift through the sky's tilted basket
Though cattle sigh and hooves look on stars
Silence falls
You watch from the kitchen's west-facing window
Beyond broken walls
At Breckness that slow tumble of tones
Of the Atlantic on Braga
That slow tumble of tones
Of the Atlantic on Braga
That slow tumble of tones
Of the Atlantic on Braga
Though a pan simmers
And there's news on the radio
Silence falls
You listen as the bows lift from the strings
And the final chord fades into stillness
And though cars lie drawn and reefs surround the town
Through the nave and transepts
Silence rings
