Dixie Chicks Silent House Lyrics

Silent House Lyrics

These walls have eyes

Rows of photographs and faces like mine

Who do we become

Without knowing where we started from?



It's true I'm missing you

As I stand alone in your room



Everyday that will pass you by

Every name that you won't recall

Everything that you made by hand

Everything that you know by heart



And I will try to connect all the pieces you left

I will carry it on and let you forget

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

How the laughter and life filled up this silent house



One room, two single beds

In the closet hangs your favorite dress

The books that you read

Are in scattered piles of paper shreds



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

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

How the laughter and life filled up this silent house

Silent house



In the garden off the living room

A chill fills the air and the lilies bloom



And I will try to connect all the pieces you left

I will carry it on and let you forget

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

How the laughter and life filled up this



And I will try to connect all the pieces you left

I will carry it on and let you forget

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

How the laughter and life filled up this silent house

Silent house
