I walk the long and winding street
The city smiles, the icy stairs
I want to be there when you fade

If I can't touch and hold you near
The emptiness, the restless crowd
Complete the only things I fear
... silence

The open door, the reckless age
Toward the deep and silent night
Recall a time that's never been

Between the eyes, the local fire
Above the sound, about a mile
The cry is lost to history
... silence

I walk into a quiet room
The servants smile and disappear
I hear a clock upon the wall

I cannot stop the hands of time
I cannot stop the voice inside
I cannot stop, I long to hear
... silence
