The Sound Of Silence
Verse
A great big field, filled with stone and leaves
Coupled by a wooden fence and waves of scenery
And I know, it’s hard to believe that such a place
Could be filled with such daunting realities
Chorus
Don’t dig your shovel too deep
There’s a whole line of people behind you
Who have a stake in how well she sleeps
Verse 2
Noises of water fill your ears
The peaceful surroundings are for the living not the revered
They can’t see the leaves of fall, they can’t hear any sounds
Like a rock in a waterfall, it’s time you let her drown
Chorus
Drop the dirt from the metal onto the wood
Hear the breaths gasp as the sound of the earth covers
Up the wounds of a former lover, one that went too soon
The last person in line’s job is to close her up good
Verse 3
You can bend your knees to wipe the leaves away
You’ll see the engravings of meaningless words about grace
Your tears will run from your face and drop like rain on her grave
But just like rain on fallen leaves, they won’t bring back Spring memories
Chorus
Don’t dig your shovel too deep
There’s a whole line of people behind you
Who have a stake in how well she sleeps
Drop the dirt from the metal onto the wood
Hear the breaths gasp as the sound of the earth covers
Up the wounds of a former lover, one that went too soon
The last person in line’s job is to close her up good
