She tells me stories / about magic and rain About beautiful places / I can almost name She says so much / without saying a thing And I just listen / to the song it brings And I can hear her / in the quiet / in between Every word she doesn’t say / still somehow speaks to me Yeah I can hear her / oh I can hear her breathe Every word she doesn’t say / still somehow speaks to me When she turns the water on / I hear her asking how I’ve been She hums along to nothing / but I know where she’s been Every little motion / every tiny sign It’s a sentence / it’s a question / and I learn to reply And I can hear her / in the quiet / in between Every word she doesn’t say / still somehow speaks to me It’s not the words / that make it real It’s how the silence / makes me feel We’re talkin in a language / only hearts can read And I can hear her / in the quiet / in between Every word she doesn’t say / still somehow speaks to me She tells me stories / and I tell them too Without sayin anything / without sayin anything at all
