The Silence-Sarah Sabi Original

Hey Guys, this is something I made about a month ago a little after Valentine's Day. There's a nice little story surrounding this song, but I'll keep it to myself :). You can probably tell from the lyrics tho. It's actually the first song that I used Garage Band for, (wow it's really time consuming!). In the GB version there's piano and drums but this is just an acoustic version for you all to enjoy :). Hope you like!

Lyrics...The Silence 1/20/2010

he remembers moments of her slowly, putting on her clothes
kiss on the forehead 'fore she opens the door
they both knew what it was like to step into 4 am mornings

freshly opened breeze as if they're made packaged from loganberry preserve jars.
the rear view shows his house from afar
roads barren and red lights are mistaken for green
she drives on, she wasn't seen.

the silence that ensues is so very dense
i'm sure your struggle to reach sleep is intense
oh please know that i'm begging for those
dreams don't dare send you nightmares
-don't dare send you nightmares

a gentle touch to your lips tell the dark
that it should never try to take your heart, from me
oh i wish i could be there to love you, in all honesty

she remembers everything from his long eyelashes to his toes
she doesn't need dreams for those
and they both knew, what it was like, to have something real

real like the tender waves of his hair when he purposely grows it out
the stubborn arguments when they come about...
the kiss that seals the bruise, when there's a need to heal
oh how soothing it feels

so if you please, come closer dear.

the silence that ensues is so very dense
i'm sure you're building your best defense
i'm aware that actions are bigger than the longest words
following through, i'm following through

a gentle touch to your lips tell the dark
that it should never try to take your heart, from me
this is one way of many to tell you
Im so sorry dear.
in all honesty...

Hey, so I loved your song so much I went and posted it on my blog. I also took the liberty of tidying up the lyrics after you, just punctuations and such. Hope you don't mind. :)

I'm a poet, and I'm usually not easily impressed by things like lyrics but I found the words to this one poignant and lovely. It's really nice to see a Filipina singing and writing such a beautiful song. I feel lucky I found this little jem in the spaces of youtube. Please keep singing. I hope you make it. You have me as a fan from now on.
