lyrics

Just like the timeless wind blowing through the trees.

My heart’s the softest drum whispering on the breeze.

I gaze into the void wondering why my thoughts seem loud.

Drowning out the silence of the ever growing crowd.

Speak to me in words unspoken.

Shout it out above the trees.

Speak to me with silence broken.

Share with me the life you lead.

You sigh a sigh so deep that the ocean moves in waves;

Washing up on the shore with every breath you take.

Waiting for time to lift a voice with words so right,

Over the silence bringing comfort to your mind.

Speak to me in words unspoken.

Shout it out above the trees.

Speak to me with silence broken.

Share with me the life you lead.

I strain to listen through the darkness of the night.

Casting out unspoken feelings weighing on my mind.

I know you’re out there somewhere. Where I could not say.

Drifting, waiting, saving your secrets till the perfect day.

Speak to me in words unspoken.

Shout it out above the trees.

Speak to me with silence broken.

Share with me the life you lead.

Place me in the depth of your dreams.

Let me know where I can find you.

Close the distance that’s between us.

Give me a chance to know you.
