Andy Jenkins, Molly Sarlé and Skyway Man - Moment of Quiet

I waited all day, for the middle of night
A sweet thing, a moment of quiet
We pine and pine, get turned inside out
For a sweet thing, a moment of quiet

Dusk has laid it on so thick
The trees hang low, looking so lovesick
If you see what I see, you couldn't deny it
A moment of quiet

The lines on the wall ripple and sway
A cutting look, a movement in darkness
I don't want to play games, I don't want to keep score
Eyes on the sky, eyes on the floor

Dusk has laid it on so thick
Saw the light on your face, but it was gone so quick
Ribbon of smoke so thick you could tie it
A moment of quiet

Have you heard singing roads converge in the strangest round?
Baby, have you heard oceans in the heavy highway sound?

I waited all night, for the middle of day
For a clear pane, an image of silence
We dream and dream and lie in wait
To see what's outside, an image of silence

Dusk has laid it on so thick
Trees hang low, looking so lovesick
Moon burning bright, shadows a riot

Have you heard curlews weep for the ones who can't return?
Have you heard fires on the water softly burn?
Have you heard singing roads converge in the strangest round?
Baby, have you heard?
Underneath the ground, there is no sound
