Jonah Tolchin Without A Sound
All my hero’s and my idols, my friendships and my
ghosts,
leave me stranded here this morning, too close away
from home.
The sun shines through my window, the leaves are green
and fair,
I’m just looking for a color only found in my baby’s
hair.
Oh but my darlings down the highway, left me here to
count the birds,
and I’m hurting to the ceiling, lost, just searching
for the words.
Chorus:
And I can’t seem to find a better place to hide, I
might jump into the river
for a midnight train to ride. I can’t swim so I’ll
sink, for to fly. Polished steel
along the creek, my soul will drift into the leaves,
and I’ll be gone, without a sound.
The car is filled with reasons to never get back in, I
was once a stronger man till I
confessed to all my sins. So I guess I’ll get to
walkin’, till I turn to something else,
for this weight that I am bearing, is too heavy for the
shelf. It’s too heavy to be buried, too heavy to be
freed, so this weight I must carry to help me sink into
the sea.
Chorus
So just let me drown, for she won’t come around, she’s
too busy being free, so I’m headed down. Yes I’m
sinking now, without a sound, it’s time to march into
the waves, where troubles are not found, no troubles
found, without a sound, no troubles found, without a
sound, no troubles found, without a sound.
