Stillness of the Night
Words and music by Anke Summerhill
I hear the whisper of your voices
In the leaves
I hear them calling out to me
One by one, the leaves will fall
And disappear
Into the stillness of the night
You lover called me and she told me
Yesterday
So many things you couldn’t say
But we held something of our memories
Of before
We knew the stillness of the night
Now we won’t get those second chances
Like the leaves that will return again in spring
A lifetime lived out in a moment
And a moment that changes everything
If there was one thing
That I could’ve said to you
What would it take to change your mind
But I saw nothing of the anger in your soul
That bore the stillness of the night
Now we won’t get those second chances
Like the leaves that will return again in spring
A lifetime lived out in a moment
And a moment that changes everything
Where did you go
We didn’t know
I hear the whisper of your voices
Your lover called me yesterday
If there was one thing
That I could’ve said to you
What would it be
What would it be
What would it be
