I thought I heard a sigh, as you waved the world goodbye
While the snow lies over meadows like a shroud
And it's so quiet, so quiet
Even the silence is too loud
So different yesterday, when you laughed the night away
Who knew that all the time you were too proud
And it's so quiet, so quiet
Even the silence is too loud
So crusading, much too true
Not a cause that was too small for you
So romantic, too naive
Not a kind enough breath to breathe
So when I think of you, I think of violet and blue
And all the things that make you stand out in a crowd
But it's so quiet, so quiet
Even the silence is too loud
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
So crusading, much too true
Not a cause that was too small for you
So romantic, too naive
Not a kind enough breath to breathe
Your pleasure and delight
Was a never-ending fight
Just a fight, just a fight

A fine silver lining in a cloud
And it's so quiet, so quiet
Even the silence is too loud
Yes, it's so quiet, so quiet
Even the silence is too loud
