John Howard - In the Stillbeat of a Silent Day Lyrics




In The Stillbeat of a Silent Day

In the stillbeat of a silent day
Save for trilled birdsong in the trees
In my soulsearch for the lad who stayed
Lost in the wonder for the heart it thieved

In the stillbeat of a silent day
Streets are not peopled 'midst the noise of speed
In the glimmer of reflected skies
Empty of love songs we forgot to heed

In the loudbreath of deserted streets
Heaving beneath leadened clouds of ache
In the heartlight of tomorrow's prayer
Ears at the windows when the songbirds wake

In the stillbeat of a silent day
Doors blind to sunlight tapping soft
As I breakstride with the dogs unstrayed
Out to their dreams of the field-bathed croft

In the stillbeat of a silent day
Smiles beneath masks where no party plays
Joining gloved hands for the angels care
Cheers from the balconies' grateful gaze

And we're waitful
And we're copeful
And we're fearful
And we're hopeful
That the end will bring new dayfuls
Of bellrung tomorrows
Exploding through the stillbeat of so many silent days

In the stillbeat of a silent day
Save for trilled birdsong in the trees
In my soulsearch for the lad who stayed
Lost in the wonder for the heart it thieved

In The Stillbeat of a Silent Day

In the stillbeat of a silent day
Save for trilled birdsong in the trees
In my soulsearch for the lad who stayed
Lost in the wonder for the heart it thieved

In the stillbeat of a silent day
Streets are not peopled 'midst the noise of speed
In the glimmer of reflected skies
Empty of love songs we forgot to heed

In the loudbreath of deserted streets
Heaving beneath leadened clouds of ache
In the heartlight of tomorrow's prayer
Ears at the windows when the songbirds wake

In the stillbeat of a silent day
Doors blind to sunlight tapping soft
As I breakstride with the dogs unstrayed
Out to their dreams of the field-bathed croft

In the stillbeat of a silent day
Smiles beneath masks where no party plays
Joining gloved hands for the angels care
Cheers from the balconies' grateful gaze

And we're waitful
And we're copeful
And we're fearful
And we're hopeful
That the end will bring new dayfuls
Of bellrung tomorrows
Exploding through the stillbeat of so many silent days

In the stillbeat of a silent day
Save for trilled birdsong in the trees
In my soulsearch for the lad who stayed
Lost in the wonder for the heart it thieved
