[Verse 1] Your eyes are the homeland of lightning and tears, Two quiet horizons gathering years. They speak without language, they call without sound, A silence so deep that my heart hears it pound. There are storms without wind in the depths of your gaze, And a sea without waves where the blue shadows blaze. I wander those waters, I follow their light, Like a lost little lantern returning at night. [Pre-Chorus] Let silence lean closer Let the dark be kind I can read the weather Written in your mind [Chorus] Let silence speak softly Let lightning remain Let tears find their rivers Let storms keep their name Let silence speak softly I know what you are A still little country That shelters my heart [Verse 2] There are birds in your eyes with their wings folded tight, Trapped in the gold of an unending night. And golden beasts sleep beneath fields of flame, Dreaming of thunder that never came. Your topaz eyes shine with the sharpness of truth, Wicked as winter, yet gentle as youth. They cut through the stories we tell to survive, Then leave me more peaceful for being alive. [Pre-Chorus] I do not need answers I do not need proof I only need the mercy Hidden in the blue [Chorus] Let silence speak softly Let lightning remain Let tears find their rivers Let storms keep their name Let silence speak softly I know what you are A still little country That shelters my heart [Bridge] So when the night gathers And the world turns thin, I follow your quiet And I fall in No map, no mourning No fear in the dark Only that still country Sheltering my heart [Final Chorus] Let silence speak softly Let lightning remain Let tears find their rivers Let storms keep their name Let silence speak softly I know what you are A still little country That shelters my heart Let silence speak softly Stay exactly as you are A still little country That shelters my heart
