[00:00.00]The Silence - Stephen Duffy
[00:19.86]I acquired knowledge and remained a fool
[00:26.39]
[00:29.23]And I required her to love me in my ignorance
[00:36.81]
[00:38.85]She found that she could not save time
[00:43.29]
[00:43.84]So she saved her breath
[00:47.21]
[00:48.26]And she became the silence in my life
[00:54.80]
[00:58.58]Was it the fear of god or just the fear of fear
[01:05.28]
[01:07.55]That made a habit out of loving and kept her here
[01:14.89]
[01:17.84]You can't turn on the sunshine
[01:21.88]Like you can turn off the light
[01:26.00]
[01:27.34]So she became the darkness in my life
[01:33.52]
[01:36.94]Love's quiet inefficiency ran us down
[01:44.31]
[01:46.91]Left us like the feel good years left the old boomtown
[01:53.55]
[01:55.72]I saw the ocean and the sea blue sky become one alone
[02:04.49]
[02:06.29]As she became the silence in my life
[02:12.62]
[02:16.10]I met you where the railway lines disappear
[02:23.03]
[02:25.39]You said you learn to love among volunteers
[02:33.00]
[02:35.35]But love involves conscription
[02:38.73]Sometimes when you're young but now
[02:43.00]
[02:44.75]We sing between the silence in my life
[02:51.59]
[02:54.86]Sing between the silence in my life
[03:00.86]
[03:33.66]She became the silence in my life
[03:40.16]
[03:43.24]She became the silence in my life
