One Minute of Silence

All leaves came down in one day
And dressed our street in red
I crush and push them away
To mute the things I couldn't say

While up and all around me
Arms are reaching, they're preaching
Down from old weary trees
Their eyes are turning on me

One minute of silence now
For all the words unspoken
One minute of silence now
For everything left unsaid

I had this fear in my throat
You could see it moving
But closed your eyes, you're so polite
Oh now it's growing on me

One minute of silence now
For all the words unspoken
One minute of silence now
For everything yet unsaid

On our street
Summer lies covered in leaves
So peacefully and all ears for me
Sweet times, we're living in
So carefully, all ears for me
