Silent

Emily Loizeau

I sat up in a tree
until I thought I was part
of the forest.
Night came and fell on me.
I didn't move.
I was waiting for the chorus.
I stayed ‘til morning came.
Not a sound not a peep
in the forest.
I waited for a symphony
but it was a song in a
silent key.

It's getting all silent in there
It's getting all silent
It's getting all silent in there
It's getting all silent

I've dreamt of a winter day
where the earth was a bed
of hot ashes.
No one can hear the cry
nor the sound of a tree
when it crashes.
I've seen a bird fly.
I've cried by riversides.
I gave birth to a child.
I found a sky where the
music had died.

It's getting all silent in there
It's getting all silent
It's getting all silent in there
It's getting all silent

Give me a chance to hear
The sound of life.
It used to be in here.

I sat up in a tree
until I felt I was part
of the forest.
Night came and fell on me.
I didn't move.
I was waiting for the chorus.

Je me suis assise dans un arbre
jusqu'à ce que je sente faire partie
de la forêt.
La nuit vint et tomba sur moi.
Je n'ai pas bougé.

I sat up in a tree
until I felt I was part
of the forest.
Night came and fell on me.
