When the Quiet Sings

When the phone goes dark, the ordinary world slowly turns its volume back up.

Island folk-pop · warmLyrics by Thomas LukaschewskiOriginal language: English

Verse 1

My phone went dark at half past two
Like it had better things to do
I held it up against the sun
And thought the world had come undone

But there was coffee in the air
And someone laughing somewhere there
A dog asleep beside a door
And I had time to walk some more

Chorus

Maybe silence has a sound
When all the noise has settled down
Maybe lost is just a way
Of letting life come back today

I don’t need the whole world near
To notice what was always here
Funny how the smallest things
Grow louder when the quiet sings

Verse 2

I passed a street I always knew
But somehow saw it all brand new
The way the light fell through the trees
The quiet rhythm in the breeze

I must have walked for hours then
And time just loosened up again
And every step just seemed to be
A place the day had saved for me

Chorus

Maybe silence has a sound
When all my wanting settles down
Maybe lost is just the way
The heart remembers how to stay

I don’t need the whole world near
To find the morning waiting here
Funny how the smallest things
Feel bigger when the quiet sings

Bridge

The silence didn’t feel like lack
It felt like being handed back
A little piece of time and space
A little sunlight on my face

Final Chorus

Maybe silence has a sound
Like bare feet on the common ground
Maybe lost is just the way
Life finds room to come and stay

I don’t need the whole world near
Just one slow breath, the sky right here
Funny how the smallest things
Start dancing when the quiet sings

Outro

Funny how the smallest things
Start dancing when the quiet sings

Mmm, when the quiet sings
Mmm, when the quiet sings
