about

Follow your Silence
I wrote the first complete version of this song in a day in 2018 – that’s really rare for me! I started with the lyrics, and the idea that in a noisy world, you could connect with your love by following the peace and quiet like a dog following a scent.

lyrics

Follow your Silence

Daily life pulls us away
draws us apart, won’t let love be
Weary at the end of the day
follow your silence, come to me

Just out of bed and now I have to run
Everyone wants a piece of me
When their shouting is all done
Follow your silence, come to me

And in the ending of that sound
A subtle, simple note unites us
Within this haven we have found
A single candle glows and lights us

Rent and food sure cost a lot
The stress and noise are too much for me
Our quiet love is all I’ve got
Follow your silence, come to me

And in the ending of that sound
A subtle, simple note unites us
Within this haven we have found
A single candle glows and lights us.

And as the wave is welcomed by the shore
The river welcomed by the sea
We have each other, evermore
Follow your silence, come to me

Follow your silence
Come
Come to me
