Lyrics

I’ve heard many things
I’ve heard the mountain tops sing
As the fog whispered softly in the valley below

I’ve heard the leaves dance with the trees
To a joyful waltz played by the breeze
Even though down’s the only place they got left to go

I’ve heard the dew rest on the grass
As the river elegantly slipped past
And the sun cracked open the night to release the dawn

I’ve heard the weeping willow cry
As Autumn rudely said goodbye
But now all I hear is the sound of you gone

I’ve heard the sweet dandelions roar
I’ve heard the roses sharpening their thorns
As the thistles prepared for war

I’ve heard the stars jealously bicker
As the night quietly grew thicker
And the moon claimed it’s throne in the sky

I’ve heard the hills howl for hours
To the humming of the blossoming flowers
While the swaying wheat laughed under the yawning sun

I’ve heard the ice melt in my glass
I’ve heard time slowly pass
But now all I hear is the sound of you gone

It’s left an echoing deafness in my heart
And it’s screaming like the lack of light in the dark
I cover my ears through the silence and I try to be strong
But nothing is as loud as the sound of you gone
