Silent House

Crowded House · Time On Earth [2007]

These walls have eyes

Rows of photographs with faces like mine

Who do we become without know where we started from

It's true, I'm missing you

And I stand alone, inside your room



Everything that you made by hand

Everything that you know by heart

I will try to connect all the pieces you left

I will carry it on and let you forget

I'll remember the years when you mind was still clear

All the flickering lights, they filled up this silent house



One room, two beds

In the closet hangs your favourite dress

Good books that you read

Are in pieces now, the pages are shredded



Everything that you made by hand

Everything that you know by heart

I will try to connect all the pieces you left

I will carry it on and let you forget

I'll remember the years when you mind was still clear

All the laughter and light, that filled up this silent house



Everything that you made by hand

Everything that you learned by heart

Every name that you can't recall

I will try to connect all the pieces you left

I will carry it on, and let you forget

I'll remember the years when your mind was still clear

And the flickering lights that filled up this silent house
