03 The Language Behind Silence Daughter Mm-ah, mm-ah Ah-mm, ah One note is near me One further back This one goes quiet Then this one comes back Light at the window Warm on my hand I know when it changes I know where it lands You are there At the edge of the room You are there Even when I don't move Your voice comes warm Then goes away I don't have your answer But I know when you stay Words come in pieces Bright, close, fast One sits beside me Two hurry past Don't make them a doorway Don't pull me through Let one thing be one thing Then I can choose You are there At the edge of the room You are there Even when I don't move Your voice comes warm Then goes away I don't have your answer But I know when you stay Mm-ah, mm-ah Ah-mm, ah Again The small sound comes back Again The light answers that Far pulls near Near lets go I move one piece The whole room grows You call it silence Then something comes back A sound at the edge Another answers that The room getting wider The sky coming near You wait at the edge I know you are here Again The small sound comes back Again And something moves Far pulls near Near lets go I move one piece The whole room grows The whole room grows You are there At the edge of the room Wait there a little I'll come when I choose Your voice comes warm Then goes away I don't have your answer But I know when you stay Mm-ah, mm-ah Ah-mm, ah Dad Are you there? Daughter Mm-ah, mm-ah Ah-mm, ah
