You seemed okay
Late that day
It was the was night
When you slid away
I spend all my days finding my future
Making simple calculations of saints
I've got novels, poems, my parents' eyes
But I ache

The truth...
Without you...

The silence falling
It was just an overture
I was sure that
I would wake up
And you'd be gone

I brought all my strength to bear
On a problem that wasn't there
Tried to see myself in the mirror
But I just stared
Down alleys, out windows
Streets still they don't know
When will this dead wind blow
For you?

The silence falling
It was just an overture
I was sure that
That I would wake up
And you'd be gone

Gone
This fear you've held
Is it gone,
This fear you've held?

And as we left the room
I knew it would be soon
Should've known right then
That this was good by

The silence falling
It was just an overture
I was sure that
That I would wake up
Knowing your face
Is steady in this place

The silence falling
It was just an overture
I was sure that
That I would wake up
And you'd be...
