I thought I heard a sigh as you waved the world goodbye
While the snow lies on meadows like a shroud
And it's so quiet, so quiet
and even the silence is too loud

So different yesterday when you laughed the night away
When you knew that all the time you were too proud

And it's so quiet, so quiet
and even the silence is too loud

So crusading, much too true
Not a cause that was too small for you
So romantic, too naive
And not a kind enough breath to breathe
So when I think of you, I think of violet and blue
And all the things that makes you stand out in a crowd

And it's so quiet, so quiet
and even the silence is too loud

Your pleasure and delight was a neverending fight
Just to find the silver lining in the clouds

And it's so quiet, so quiet
and even the silence is too loud
yes it's so quiet, so quiet
and even the silence is too loud
