Silent House — Dixie Chicks

These walls have eyes Rows of photographs And faces like mine Who do we become Without knowing where We started from

It's true I'm missing you As I stand alone in your room

Everyday that will pass you by Every name that you won't recall Everything that you made by hand Everything that you know by heart

And I will try to connect All the pieces you left I will carry it on And let you forget And I'll remember the years When your mind was clear How the laughter and life Filled up this silent house

One room Two single beds In the closet hangs Your favorite dress The books that you read Are in scattered piles Of paper shreds

Everything that you made by hand Everything that you know by heart

And I will try to connect All the pieces you left I will carry it on And let you forget And I'll remember the years When your mind was clear How the laughter and life Filled up this silent house Silent house

In the garden off the living room A chill fills the air And the lilies bloom

And I will try to connect All the pieces you left I will carry it on And let you forget And I'll remember the years When your mind was clear How the laughter and life Filled up this

And I will try to connect All the pieces you left I will carry it on And let you forget And I'll remember the years When your mind was clear How the laughter and life Filled up this silent house

Silent house
