The Silence Between Us Lyrics - District Line - Bob Mould

There were trails of fallen trees 

Deciduous and weeding marsh 

The lowland birds and crickets roared 

The final sound of fall 

Along the banks of the river 

We approached the footbridge 

Entering the wilderness 

Following my footstep 

The silence between us is the time 

When I can't hear the thoughts 

That's on your mind, yeah 

Beyond the panic and worried that 

Seems to consume most every thought 

There lies a calm and steady hand 

That someday you might see 

Perhaps it isn't what you wanted 

Or even what you're looking for 

But once you see the symmetry 

Once you see the you and me 

The silence between us is the time 

When I can't hear the thoughts 

That's on your mind, yeah 

While others were so nervous 

The words will disappear 

What thoughts are on your mind, yeah 

You park the car outside the Holiday Inn 

We cross the highway single file 

And you were walking in a hurry 

And there was me without water with a smile, yeah 

The silence between us is the time 

When I can't hear the thoughts 

That's on your mind, yeah 

While others were so nervous 

The words will disappear 

What thoughts are on your mind, yeah 

On your mind, yeah 

On your mind, yeah 

On your mind, yeah
