The Absence Of Sound lyrics

I’ll tell you the reason for my song Look at all those kids Without knowing love I’ll tell you the reason for my song People crossing bridges So they can see the sun They’re not ready, but they’re not wrong They prefer the sound of boats The shell is falling down Ending all innocence By the absence of sound The old sea is in mourning I’ll tell you the reason for my song It’s sad poetry Can’t talk about the fun I’ll tell you the reason for my song Black clouds again Invading our lungs They can find love crossing that highway Let the kids run and go their way
