No Sound
Silent Echoes of Lost Love: No Sound by Louis Philippe and The Night Mail
Lyrics
You lie awake
You are unable to sleep.
You pine and ache
You long for and feel pain.
Replay the scene
You replay a scenario in your mind.
Of what could have been
You reflect on what might have happened.
My shape's just a hollow
Your presence feels empty.
The bed wants to swallow
The bed seems ready to engulf you.
And this
A void exists.
As dawn creeps within the shadows
As daylight emerges in the darkness.
Your hand reaches for the pillow
Your hand searches for the missing connection, the pillow.
When my head used to rest
Where my head used to find solace.
And can't be found
But it's nowhere to be found.
No sound
No sound.
But moving sheets
Actions in bed, but memories deceive.
The memory cheats
Recollections play tricks on the mind.
The absent friend
A dear one who's absent is now back home.
Has reached home again
Reaching a familiar place.
But this shape's just a hollow
Your form is an empty shell.
The bed wants to swallow
The bed hungers to consume you.
And this
A void remains.
As dawn creeps within the shadows
As morning infiltrates the darkness.
Your hand reaches for the pillow
Your hand reaches for the absent support, the pillow.
When my head used to rest
Where my head used to find peace.
And can't be found
But it's nowhere to be found.
No sound
No sound.
But bitter tears
Tears filled with bitterness.
Awoken fears
Fears resurface with awakening.
And the clock counting the hours till daybreak
The clock marks the passing hours until dawn.
Arise and shine
Rise and shine, my valuable discovery.
My precious find
Stand tall and radiate, regardless of my actions.
Walk tall and shine
Walk confidently and shine bright.
Despite what I've done
Despite the mistakes I've made.
Soon you will fins the shadow's gone
Soon, the shadow of pain will dissipate.
