Nothing In The Silence

Belle And Sebastian

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)
