There were trails of fallen trees   Deciduous and weeding marsh   The lowland birds and crickets roared   The final sound of fall      Along the banks of the river   We approached the footbridge   Entering the wilderness   Following my footstep      The silence between us is the time   When I can't hear the thoughts   That's on your mind, yeah      Beyond the panic and worried that   Seems to consume most every thought   There lies a calm and steady hand   That someday you might see      Perhaps it isn't what you wanted   Or even what you're looking for   But once you see the symmetry   Once you see the you and me      The silence between us is the time   When I can't hear the thoughts   That's on your mind, yeah      While others were so nervous   The words will disappear   What thoughts are on your mind, yeah      You park the car outside the Holiday Inn   We cross the highway single file   And you were walking in a hurry   And there was me without water with a smile, yeah      The silence between us is the time   When I can't hear the thoughts   That's on your mind, yeah      While others were so nervous   The words will disappear   What thoughts are on your mind, yeah      On your mind, yeah   On your mind, yeah   On your mind, yeah
