Silence In Memphis

from Happy Just To Be Here (EP) by Robert Schipul

/

lyrics

Watching them move the body over
Watching them kick and run
Listening to Crimson and Clover
You didn't have a gun

It's in the silence
Silence, here
It's in the silence, now

Slack-jawed, I opened up to speak
But I couldn't make a sound
You were crying out for your mother
But she was nowhere to be found

Freeze frame
The picture shifts from focus
Blacking out all the light
Catching a glimpse of shock and horror
There was nothing left in the fight

It's in the silence
Silence, here
It's in the silence, now

You'd walk a path like mine
You'd seem to have the time
Carrying a cross beneath the pictures in your mind

Now they're gone
Now they're gone

Watching them step down from their rank
Nothing much left to say
So we go about our lives
Another empty day

It's in the silence
Silence, here
It's in the silence, now
