Silent Earth

Mountain town in mid July

She's lying on his arm

With broken boots and bony knees

All strewn across the grass

And the darkest night you've ever seen

They hiked the pass and had to sleep

In purple cloud with cows and sheep

And saw the silent earth

They saw the silent earth

And they felt it breathe

Her lover was a quiet man

He waited all the night

With her asleep upon his lap

So she would be alright

And though the town was cold and wet

Their only bed a wooden bench

With him awake and reading there

He saw the silent earth

He saw the silent earth

And he felt it breathe

What can my lover do, he is leaving?

For what can I say to you if I'm screaming?

But be kind now

Oh, be kind now

My love

My love

My love

My love

My love

My love
