Richard Ashcroft
Science of Silence
[Verse 1]
We are on a rock, spinnin' silently
But I'm safe when you're here with me
These questions I'm askin', they've been hauntin' me
I need some security, can't you see?
[Verse 2]
Her love was like a fountain, rushin' and pourin' out
The darkness is putting out the light in me
She's a well to be dug, she's a university
A cosmic library, wait and see
[Chorus]
We are on a rock, spinnin' silently
Won't you get close to me?
We are on a rock, spinnin' infinity
Won't you get close to me?
[Verse 3]
Is it my genes that have made me? Is it the things I took?
Is it the things I said? Does karma rule?
Well, if there's a God, well, can you hear me now?
I'm cryin' out, hopin' you know
[Verse 4]
And in my baby's arms, I need no faith
I need no words to define myself
And when I'm a-holdin' you, the light rushin' through
Wanna make it now, safe and straight, yeah
[Chorus]
We are on a rock, spinnin' silently
Baby, get a hold of me
We are on a rock, spinnin' infinity
Baby, consolin' me
[Outro]
Oh, I don't know when the fear's gonna end
Oh, I don't know if my prayers are received, the ones I send (We are on a rock, spinnin' silently)
Oh, I can't live in pain and fear (We are on a rock, spinnin' infinity)
Oh, I see so much joy and it makes me scared (We are on a rock, spinnin' silently)
Oh, I don't know if my prayers are received (We are on a rock, spinnin' infinity)
Oh, I guess there ain't no faith when you pray for peace (We are on a rock, spinnin' silently)
Oh, baby I don't know where I'm goin'
All I know is that I need you as a friend
Oh, baby I don't know where I'm goin'
All I know is that I need you as a friend
