The Sound Of Silence

Current cover version...

...versus the original version.

Shania Twain

(I do swear that I'll always be there. I'd give anything and everything and I will always care. Through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow, for better, for worse, 

I will love you with every beat of my heart.)

From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on

From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on

I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on

You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on

For my love C.

Schau mich an - bleib einfach stehn
Komm nimm meine Hand die dich schon lang nicht mehr erreicht
Ist denn alles was du lebst nicht mehr was du fühlst
Schau mich an - kannst du mich sehn
Siehst du nicht das meine Augen dir schon längst nichts mehr erzählen
Ist denn alles was du lebst nicht mehr was du fühlst

Kennst du die Lügen nicht für meine heile Welt
Suchst du die Wahrheit nicht die mich hier am Leben hält
Spürst du die Leere nicht in meinem kalten Paradies
Kennst du die Lüge nicht an der mein Herz zerbricht

Schau mich an - kannst du verstehen
Fragst du nicht warum ich immer noch an jeden Morgen glauben kann
Komm schau mich an - du mußt es sehn
Ahnst du nicht daß tief in mir die letzte Hoffnung langsam stirbt
Ist denn alles was du lebst nicht mehr was du fühlst

Kennst du die Lügen nicht für meine heile Welt
Suchst du die Wahrheit nicht die mich hier am Leben hält
Spürst du die Leere nicht in meinem kalten Paradies
Kennst du die Lüge nicht an der mein Herz zerbricht

Kennst du die Lügen nicht - für dich
Kennst du die Träume nicht - für mich

Ist denn alles was du lebst wirklich nur das was du fühlst
für mich - für dich

Kennst du die Lügen nicht für meine heile Welt

Suchst du die Wahrheit nicht die mich hier am Leben hält
Spürst du die Leere nicht in meinem kalten Paradies
Kennst du die Lüge nicht an der mein Herz zerbricht
An der mein Herz - zerbricht

Spürst du die Leere nicht in meinem kalten Paradies

Kennst du die Lüge nicht an der mein Herz zerbricht

Kennst du die Lüge nicht an der mein Herz zerbricht

J.R. Richards

You're the only one who knows the way home
You're the only one who knows the way home

But you're already gone - I feel for the drowning storm
Rules get bent and broken - betrayed - trampled to the ground

You're the only one who knows the way
You're the only one that can help me through the storm

The fear of this unknown is all the darkness is

When you leave me alone an utter blackness gives into
You're the only one who knows the way

You're the only one who knows the way - knows the way

Dry and cracked we wait for winter rain
And bend our backs into a thousand shapes
You know I won't survive til' you rescue me

You're the only one who knows the way
You're the only one who knows the way - knows the way home

You're the only one
You're the only one
You know I won't survive until you rescue me
You're the only one

You're the only one

Red House Painters

I can't make anything
Of why the brightest light fades
Or how you slept a sleepless slumber
And through the rhythm of the timeless season
 

And you are the dark on my soul

And it's your love that I steal
And you're my cuts that won't close
And this I'm certain
And this I'm certain
And this I'm certain

I don't see anything
Through all your worries
And the worst in people
And you're the builder of your own high temple
And that's the magic of your mind

And you're the reason that I'm down
But you're the promise that I found
And you're all that I got
Who's the meanest
And who's a genius
And who's mine

I can't take anything

And from the bed you lay and wonder
And from the morning come like thunder
It's the downfall of your time

And you're the dark of our home
But still the home that I feel won't let up
Or let go
And this I'm certain
And this I'm certain

And this I'm certain

 

 

Michelle Branch

Now, don't just walk away
Pretending everything's ok
And you don't care about me
And I know there's just no use
When all your lies become your truths and I don't care... yeah, yeah, yeah

Could you look me in the eye
And tell me that you're happy now, ohhh, ohhh
Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased,
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?

You took all there was to take,
And left me with an empty plate
And you don't care about it, yeah.
And I am givin' up this game
I'm leaving you with all the blame cause I don't care, yeah, yeah yeah,

Could you look me in the eye?
And tell me that you're happy now, oohh oohhh
Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased,
Are you happy now? Ohhh, ohhhh
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now? yeah, yeah, yeah.

Do you really have everything you want?
You can't ever give somethin' you ain't got
You can't run away from yourself

Could you look me in the eye?

And tell me that you're happy now, yeah, yeah

Come on, tell it to my face or have i been replaced,

Are you happy now? Ohhh, ohhhh

Are you happy now?

Would you look me in the eye?
Could you look me in the eye?
I've had all that I can take
I'm not about to break
Cause I'm happy now, ohhh, ohhh
Are you happy now?

The Alan Parsons Project

Look at me now, a shadow of the man I used to be
Look through my eyes and through the years of lonliness you'll see

To the times in my life when I could not stand to lose

A simple game
And the least of it all was the fortune and the fame
But the dream seemed to end just as soon as it had begun

Was I to know?
For the least thing of all that was on my mind

Was the close at the end of the show
The shadow of a lonely man, feels nobody else
In the shadow of a lonely, lonely man
I can see myself

(Looking out of nowhere, looking out of nowhere)

But the sounds of the crowds when they come to see me now

Is not the same
And the jest of it all is I can't recall my name
But I'll cling to a hope till I can't hold on anymore, anymore
And for all the acclaim

I am all alone and I see as I look through the door

The shadow of a lonely man, there's nobody else
In the shadow of a lonely, lonely man
I can see myself

Look at me now, a shadow of the man I used to be

Fish

We got 140 stations on satellite beaming on down to our home 

But I'm watching you

 I've got half a million bills to pay

You never hear a word I say 

I dream of you

Oh it feels so incomplete

Oh it seems so incomplete

 If we could only close the distance

 If we could only cross these lines

 If we could only fill the space that's grown between us over time

You don't hear me anymore

You don't touch me anymore

You don't know me anymore

There's a wedding dress in a suitcase full of memories in the attic

I think of you
Where the ghosts of Summer butterflies they gather in the dust
I long for you

Oh it feels so incomplete

Oh it seems so incomplete

If we could only bring those days back

When there were never wounds to heal

When everything was perfect and the dream we had was real

But you don't hear me anymore

You don't touch me anymore

You don't know me anymore

Oh it feels so incomplete

Oh it seems so incomplete

When there were never any questions over who or what we were

And the future only promised all the answers to our prayers

You don't hear me anymore

You don't touch me anymore

You don't know me anymore

Oh I feel so incomplete without you..

John Waite

Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I’m still standing here
And you’re miles away
And I'm wondering why you left
And there’s a storm that’s raging
Through my frozen heart tonight

I hear your name, in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time, thinking about you
And it’s almost driving me wild
And there's a heart that’s breaking
Down this long distance line tonight

I ain’t missing you at all
Since you’ve been gone, away
I ain’t missing you
No matter, what I might say

There’s a message, in the wires
And I’m sending you this signal tonight
You don’t know how desperate I’ve become
And it looks like I’m losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning
Though Im trying hard to understand
And it's my heart that’s breaking
Down this long distance line tonight

I ain’t missing you at all
Since you’ve been gone, away
I ain’t missing you
No matter, what my friends say

And there’s a message that I’m sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can’t bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload

I ain’t missing you at all
Since you’ve been gone, away
I ain’t missing you
No matter, what my friends say
I ain’t missing you, I aint missing you
I can lie to myself

And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I aint missing you at all
Since you’ve been gone, away
I ain’t missing you,
No matter, what my friends say
Aint missing you
I ain’t missing you, I aint missing you
I can lie to myself
I ain’t missing you
I aint missing you

Rain Tree Crow

I haul you in a sea of silence

On the border line of truth
Hope and violence
I see no sun
I see no place I've loved
Depending on the signs to find the road

Blackwater
Take me with you
To the place that I have spoken
Come and lead me
Through the darkness
To the light that I long to see again

I walk with you
But sleep beside her
If summer came and went
It passed us over
I see her cry
I see the face I've loved
Depending on the blind to find the road

Blackwater
Take me with you
To the place that I have spoken
Come and lead me
Through the darkness
To the light that I long to see again


Blackwater
Take me with you
To the place that I have spoken
I am leaving
In the morning
For the land that I long to see again

Everlast

I was born by the river in a little tent
And just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know, yes I know, a change gonna come, yes it will

It's too hard living and I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me, "Don't hang around"
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, yes it will

Then I go and I see my bro'

 I ask, "Brother, won't you help me please"
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees

There were times that I thought I couldn't last for long
Now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know, yes I know, a change gonna come, yes it will

It's been a long, long time coming 

But I know a change gonna come, yes it will

It's been a long, long time coming 

But I know, yes I know, a change gonna come, yes it will

But I know, yes I know, a change gonna come, yes it will
I'm not afraid anymore..

In A Nutshell

...if you find my tale
scratch in on the wall

I neversaw you praying

I will stop it all
and once you said by mail
nobody to call

I will go down
you don''t you can''t
step off your rails
hanging on the stage
among so skinny fellows
looking face to face

I ask no other's questions

dropping shade instead
I wish I digged down all crowns
 

and if you hang so long

find another home

depicted stone and strong

ready to stand all

and then you'll find your way, find your way

you've gone through trial
 

behind the board up doors

catch me by a hand

skies never been so close

fell to see you off

and then you'll find your way, find your way
I walk away

The Rescues

Your eyes are gonna drown in your wine glass
Your mind is tripping stones over your past
I know better than to ask you, "Why, love?"

When you begin to believe your own lies then
They'll keep swinging long as you keep fighting
Until you ruin a perfectly good night, my love

My love, you're not listening
My love, you're not listening
My love, try listening
For the voice that's whispering
To you my love

Those tears are 10 years old
That script has long been sold
That stories' sick of being told
Say goodbye love

It's time you learned some new lines
They're already rolling round in your mind
So don't waste another life, my love

My love, you're not listening
My love, you're not listening
My love, try listening
For the voice that's whispering
To you my love

My love. My love.
My love, you're not listening
My love, you're not listening

My dreams did not come true
though I wanted them to
And that's ok with me
Is it ok with you?

My dreams did not come true
Though I wanted them to
And that's ok with me
Is it ok with you?

My love, try listening
For the voice that's whispering
To you my love
