In the Silence of the Night

Do I hear the guitar strings In the silence of the night

One string a step forward Another a step backwards

Is it just my ears ringing

Is it a note near or is it a little afar

In the silence of the night …

The tune slows, the tune fades

The tune tries, the tune halts

The note rises, the note drops

In the silence of the night…

The note is near, yet afar

In the silence of the night …

The tune will smile, the tune will laugh

The note will cry, the note will scream

The note will float, the note will merge

In the silence of the night
