She's staring out to see
Silence itself
Echoes out of the coast
Oh, it sounds old
Hear his secret
Nothing's loud, just found
Tide is broken now
When the whisper dissolves
Like a kind of a bird
Never gets any rest
Spends its whole life on its wings
Beats the wind instead
And the wind said, "Fly"
And the sea said, "Live"
And the sun says it can, it can
It will, it will fly away
But the rain
We must listen to that
The rain owns all of these songs
That our hearts have met
And your tongue is a river
Heading out to the shore
Interrupted by your heartbeat
Bolder in the flow
There's no fear without courage (fear without courage)
Sense of what's left behind or to come (what's to come)
Just to drift in a moment (drift in a moment)
Float in the storm (float in the storm)
And the wind said, "Fly" (wind says, "Fly")
And the sea said, "Live" (the sea said, "Live")
And the sun says it can, it can
It will, it will fly away
But the rain (oh, but the rain)
We must listen to that (we must listen to that)
The rain knows all of these songs
That our hearts have mapped (that our hearts have mapped)
And your tongue is a river (tongue is a river)
Heading out to the shore (heading out to the shore)
Interrupted by your heartbeat
Like a boulder in the flow (boulder in the flow)
And your tongue is a river
You must listen to that
Interrupted by a heartbeat
