Sanctity of Silence

Oh, the years they come and the years they go

To love someone is to watch them grow

You said hold me

So I do

Oh, the fading light, it moves so fast

You pull me close, you say we’re alone at last

Now you can hold me, I want you to hold me

And so I do, of course I do

In the sanctity of silence

As the wind sweeps through the islands

And I’m staring at the darkness that’s a-coming soon

As you look at me, you’re crying

Then a tear falls from my eyelids

If you’re living then you’re dying, what’s left to choose?

But I feel it in the moment and I say it now I know it

I want to grow old with you

Through the city streets that are crumbled and cracked with load

Oh, you grab my hand, and say that’s where the garden grows

I want you to love me, oh, just love me

And so I do, of course I do

In the sanctity of silence

As the wind sweeps through the islands

And I’m staring at the darkness that’s coming soon

As you look at me, you’re crying

Then a tear falls from my eyelids

If you’re living then you’re dying, what’s left to choose?

But I feel it in the moment and I say it now I know it

I want to grow old with you

Now I’m looking back, as I so often do

On late afternoons making love to you

Oh, how I loved you, yes, I loved you

And I still do, of course I do
