As I Aloosen up the Bblindfold I begin to Esee
My Ascars have yet not Bhealed, but I am Efree
BNo one ever Cmtold that a sAtorm would be Ecoming
AI was in the water Band the river Eoverflowed
When silence Afalls, that is when I feel ElonelyEsus4  E  
When silence Afalls, it falls too Eheavily on my sEsus4houldersE  
And then I Bfeel the absence of CmyouA  
And Eall the things that we Bused to Edo

The Acolors of my Bwildest Efantasy
Are Astill the same, but Bsomething's changed in Eme
BI guess that it's no Cmwonder that I'm Aall conEfused
AWhen I've lost the sBense of Eyou
When silence fAalls, that is when I feel ElonelyEsus4  E  
When silence Afalls, it falls, falls too Eheavily on my Esus4shouldersE  
And then I Bfeel the absence of CmyouA  
And Eall the things that we Bused to Edo

The tAurnkey comes, it Btells me time is Eup
I'm Ain again, Bnow the door is Elocked
BHow I wish that CmI could sing a Asong for Eyou
But Ayou have disapBpeared without a Eclue
When silence fAalls, that is when I feel ElonelyEsus4  E  
When silence Afalls, ohh it falls too Eheavily on my Esus4shouldersE  
And then I Bfeel the absence of CmyouA
