[Verse 1] I feel like singing, but no one sings, The morning rests on quiet wings. I feel like crying, but no one cries, The river keeps its silver eyes. A ghost raises The hand of fear over our hour, Like winter shadows over a flower. [Pre-Chorus] I feel like screaming, but no one screams, The wind folds softly around our dreams. I feel like running, but no one runs, We wait beneath the fading sun. [Chorus] So I breathe with the trees In the evening air, And loosen the silence We carry everywhere. If no one sings, I'll hum to the rain, If no one cries, I'll soften the pain. The ghost may linger, But dawn has a way Of opening windows And widening the day. [Verse 2] A ghost limits All the future to this very day, Yet somewhere beyond, the clouds drift away. I feel the cold at the edge of my skin, Still something in me begins again. The dark can lean At the edge of the frame, But it cannot keep What I quietly name. [Chorus] So I breathe with the trees In the evening air, And loosen the silence We carry everywhere. If no one sings, I'll hum to the rain, If no one cries, I'll soften the pain. The ghost may linger, But dawn has a way Of opening windows And widening the day. [Bridge] Let the moon pass over The empty field, Let the hard old fear Finally yield. I held my voice Like a small lit flame, Now I let it rise And call my name. [Final Chorus] So I breathe with the trees In the evening air, And loosen the silence We carry everywhere. If no one sings, I'll hum to the rain, If no one cries, I'll soften the pain. The ghost may linger, But dawn has a way Of opening windows And widening the day.
