From the recording Benches
Lyrics
Silent Letter
So much to say but the pen lays still.
So much to say but the paper stays white.
The keyboard waits but the fingers don't tap.
Silent letter, silent letter.
Sweet reflections while the air is still.
Silent letter, silent letter.
There's more real beauty in this
than my voice could ever reveal.
No subtle debt to be paid,
or island of ghosts to be laid.
So much to lose but the heart keeps time.
So much to learn but the beat’s complex.
The words come fast but the secrets are safe.
Silent letter, silent letter.
Sweet reflections while the air is still.
Silent letter, silent letter.
There's more real beauty in this
than my voice could ever reveal, could ever…..
