The Silence That Remains

She said Come West Cause where I am you should be And all of this change Is just too much for me And the bigger that the heart is The harder that it breaks And I can't stand the silence The silence that remains I thought Come East Cause I'm frozen in the winter light And maybe you can save me From my place here in the ice And when I think of her I think of buildings and planes And water in the streets And the silence that remains
