Silent Lyrics

There's a quiet in the valley where the river runs so low

Whispers in the breeze that only lonesome souls would know

Underneath the stars tonight a heart feels mighty small

In the silence of a memory that won't answer when I call

Silent as the night that fell the words we left unsaid

Echoes in the distance like a song left in my head

I'm holding onto shadows and dreams that just won't fade

Silent as the heartbreak that you left along the way

Dust settles on the porch swing just like it did before

I sit and hear the creakin' where we once talked for hours more

Now the moon hangs heavy and the crickets sound so clear

But even they can't fill the empty space since you're not here

Silent as the night that fell the words we left unsaid

Echoes in the distance like a song left in my head

I'm holding onto shadows and dreams that just won't fade

Silent as the heartbreak that you left along the way

If words could bring you back to me I'd shout them to the skies

But I'm lost here in the stillness where your memory lies

Every "I love you" I couldn't say every promise left to break

Lingers here in silence in the heart you couldn't take

Silent as the night that fell the words we left unsaid

Echoes in the distance like a song left in my head

I'm holding onto shadows and dreams that just won't fade

Silent as the heartbreak that you left along the way

So I sit here in the quiet where the river used to run

Hoping silence speaks to you about the love that's come undone

And maybe in the stillness where even echoes fail to sound

You'll hear the silent story of the heart you left unbound
