The Absence Of Sound

Hugo Mariutti

Compositor: Hugo Mariutti

I’ll tell you the reason for my song
Look at all those kids
Without knowing love
I’ll tell you the reason for my song
People crossing bridges
So they can see the sun

They’re not ready, but they’re not wrong
They prefer the sound of boats

The shell is falling down
Ending all innocence
By the absence of sound
The old sea is in mourning

I’ll tell you the reason for my song
It’s sad poetry
Can’t talk about the fun
I’ll tell you the reason for my song
Black clouds again
Invading our lungs

They can find love crossing that highway
Let the kids run and go their way
