Weight of Silence

Intro

Mm mm

Mm-mm

Verse 1

Shadows stretching across the kitchen tile

The clock on the wall won me over

Six hours

Hardly moving

Pre-Chorus

No ringing on the phone line

No footsteps in the hall

Just the hollow in my chest

Chorus

Oh the weight of silence

Pressing down like mountain lead

Oh the weight of silence

Better off if something was said

Talking to the air instead

Verse 2

Dust settles on your heavy winter coat

Hanging by the door since Sunday evening

Dry throat

Thirsty for a simple word

Pre-Chorus

No rattling of the iron gate

No music from the radio

Just the cold wind in the leaves

Chorus

Oh the weight of silence

Pressing down like mountain lead

Oh the weight of silence

Better off if something was said

Talking to the air instead

Bridge

Maybe you’re gone

Maybe you’re late

Maybe you’re never coming home

Cold blue winter

Cold blue morning

Cold blue heart

Chorus

Oh the weight of silence

Pressing down like mountain lead

Oh the weight of silence

Better off if something was said

Talking to the air instead

Chorus

Oh the weight of silence

Oh the weight of silence

Heavy weight

Lonesome weight
