give me silence
I can't meet your eyes with this noise
all these smiles in summer dazed nights
it could last forever
in silence, slow motion

and you seem so happy
that it frightens me, just a little

it was easy the other day, those games we played
but underneath it all
something I can't quite place
something at the windows

so give me silence
before I take your hands in mine
give me time
to breathe in the air
see the lights outside
turn away for a while

to get lost in the black alleys
and the amber streets

so that you may find me there
