When the ceiling Is a sky full of memory And the walls Are a tapestry made Of fading starlight Sun will light up a fire And what seemed so safe Will melt away This sound of falling Louder than silence A sound that can only Be made by us leaving All we have given And all we have taken All of it lost now And this sound of leaving As soft as a storm A sound that can only Be made by us falling A voice in the roaring So stranded and small I'm still yearning, still learning to live Once was a river And it was seething with life And there was laughter New reliance and trust Down by the lakeside But we lost it somehow And that's really all there is to tell That's really all there is to it That's really all there is to tell This sound of falling Louder than silence A sound that can only Be made by us leaving All we have given And all we have taken All of it lost now And this sound of leaving As soft as a storm A sound that can only Be made by us falling A voice in the roaring So stranded and small I'm still yearning, still learning to live And we are what we are Lovers and strangers We are bound for a lone road We're leaving the past where it lies And with the certainty that we Don't own a small thing Barely knowing each other No one of us will ever be at peace And this sound of wailing Older than time A sound that can only Be made by dreams failing Shattered hopes Everything's lost You're not here Anymore Once was a river... This sound of falling Louder than silence A sound that can only Be made by us leaving All we have given And all we have taken All of it lost now And this sound of leaving As soft as a storm A sound that can only Be made by us falling Winglessly flying Like beautiful monsters Like berflies inside the palm
