Belle And Sebastian Nothing In The Silence Lyrics

Nothing In The Silence Lyrics

Something set me thinking,
When i opened up my eyes
That there was nothing
there to tell me
I'd been listening to lies.

But in silence there is
truth
There is beauty, there is love
There is nothing in the
silence
To be frightened of.

Her retreat and so few words
Is the
last thing you'd expect.
But there's danger in assuming
That she's being
direct.

Take a look behind her eyes
And you will see.
That she
knows nothing of silence
Silence can only come from
me.

(Instrumental)

Allow me then a little time
To listen to
their voices.
It's the glamour and confusion,
It's the rattling and the
noises.

That obscure the truth, the beauty
And the love.
And their
clarity that silence
Is the guardian of.

She talks of clarity and
silence
Of beauty and of truth.
But search her heart for
evidence
Search herself for proof.

Take a look behind her eyes
And
you will see.
That she knows nothing of silence
Silence can only come from
me.

(Instrumental)
