Trey Anastasio
Silent in the Morning
[Verse 1]
My glance is always darting when I stroll the avenue
Avoiding all the obstacles that terrorize my view
And if you are there with me, I trust you to lead the way
But when you're not I follow you, and always go astray
[Verse 2]
You're silent in the morning, suspended in the trees
When lunch time comes, you've found your voice, it brings me to my knees
The volume just increases, the resounding echoes grow
'Til once again I bask in morning stillness I love so
[Verse 3]
The target that I shoot for seems to move with every breath
I tighten all my arteries and make one last request
Divine creation hears me, and he squashes me with fear
I think that this exact thing happened to me, just last year
[Chorus]
You're silent in the morning
You found your voice, it brings me to
You're silent in the morning
You found your voice, it brings me to
You're silent in the morning
You found your voice, it brings me to
You're silent in the morning
You found your voice, it brings me to my knees
[Outro]
I will not dismiss you
Shelter you, speak with you
Smile at you, trust in me
He'd like to brush you off, and I'd agree
