We plow the fields of our ancestors
From dawn to dusk we carry on
At night we dream of golden slumber
And dig for nuggets up the river
We spin the wheels of time and fortune
To make the perfect moment last forever
The silence between us is worth a thousand words
It fills the space that fate has long forgotten
The silence between us makes no promises
It holds a virtue better left unspoken
Do we ever truly recover
Or does the date simply expire
To make the most of it
We take the route we take
In a paper glider over water
A gust of wind will sometimes lift us higher
The silence between us is worth a thousand words
It fills the space that fate has long forgotten
The silence between us makes no promises
It holds a virtue better left unspoken
