Silence Is Always This Way

If all we have is our thoughts left unbowed
Then all we need is time here alone
Now let me just say
That I don’t know what to say

If the question remains
Left here unnamed
I hope I can be part of the solution
But you know that already
I can’t bask in the answer
Because I could not be it
Now let me just say
That I don’t know what to say

If images and ideas are clouding your way
Well, maybe it’s the ghost of a long distance prey
Now let me just say
That I never know what to say
So silence is always this way
