Silent House - Crowded House

These walls have eyes

Rows of photographs

With faces like mine

Who do we become

Without knowing where we started from

It’s true

I’m missing you

And I stand alone

Inside your room

Everything that you made by hand

Everything that you know by heart

I will try to connect

All the pieces you’ve left

I will carry it on

And let you forget

I’ll remember the years

When your mind was still clear

All the flickering lights

They filled up this silent house

One room

Two beds

In the closet hangs your favourite dress

Good books that you read

Are in pieces now

The pages are shredded

Everything that you made by hand

Everything that you know by heart

I will try to connect

All the pieces you’ve left

I will carry it on

And let you forget

I’ll remember the years

When your mind was still clear

All the flickering lights

That filled up this silent house

Everything that you made by hand

Everything that you know by heart

All the names that you can’t recall

I will try to connect

All the pieces you’ve left

I will carry it on

And let you forget

I’ll remember the years

When your mind was still clear

All the flickering lights

That filled up this silent house
