Words and music © Heather Pirie (Listen, 2005)

Birds have stopped their singing
You can hear a pin drop ringing
Nothing seems to be out of place
But I can feel it in the air

No rainfall, no refresher
The air has lost its pressure
Nothing seems to be out of place
But I can feel it in my bones

Something’s in the silence
Something’s screaming loud
Something feels wrong
Waiting under this shroud - Listen

No words for this emotion
No solace, no potion
Nothing seems to be out of place
But I can feel it in my soul

Something’s in the silence
Something’s screaming loud
Something feels wrong
Waiting under this shroud - Listen

Can you sense there’s a storm about to blow?
Can’t you feel it, don’t you know?
Is there life without this fear?
If only I could hear from my heart
Verse (hum)

Something’s in the silence
Something’s screaming loud
Something feels wrong
Waiting under this shroud - Listen

I have to be brave and listen
I have to be brave and listen to my heart
Verse (hum)
Listen (whisper)
