How can I soften when I look into your eyes?
I don't call you nothin'. I won't call you mine.
Our faces meet across the fence, your babe is soft and still
I want to serenade you but I don't think I will.
Oh, the quiet.
You want nothin' but silence.
Oh, the quiet.
You want nothin' but silence.
I've memorized my footsteps on the trail alone
I've sunk my muddy feet back into places I've outgrown.
Cypress knees bend down with me
I put some seedpods into my pocket
To remember all of this.
Oh, the quiet.
You want nothin' but silence.
Oh, the quiet.
You want nothin' but silence.
How can I soften when I look into your eyes?
I don't call you nothin'. I won't call you mine.
