[Verse 1]
Oh my dear, oh my dear sweet love
Oh my dear, oh my dear sweet love
When I'm away from you, when I'm away from you
Well I feel, yeah, well I feel so sad and blue
Well I feel, well I feel so sad and blue (Yeah)
Oh my dear, oh my dear, oh my dear sweet love (Yeah)
When I'm away from you, I just have to sing my hymns
[Chorus]
Hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
[Verse 2]
Oh my dear
Oh my dear sweet love it's a long, long journey, yeah
(Long, long journey)
Long, long journey, journey back home
Back home to you, feel you by my side
Long journey, journey, journey home
Yeah in the midnight, in the midnight, I burn the candle
Burn the candle at both ends
Burn the candle at both ends
Burn the candle at both ends
Burn the candle at both ends
And I keep on, 'cause I can't sleep at night
Until the daylight comes through
And I just, and I just have to sing
[Chorus]
Sing my hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
My hymns to the silence
[Verse 3]
I wanna go out in the countryside
Oh sit by the clear, cool, crystal water
Get my spirit way back to the feeling
Deep in my soul, I wanna feel
Oh so close to the One (Close to the One)
Close to the One (Close to the One)
Close to the One, close to the One
And that's why I keep on singing baby
[Chorus]
My hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
Oh my hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
Oh hymns to the silence
Oh my hymns to the silence
Oh hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
[Post-Chorus]
Oh my dear, my dear sweet love
Can you feel the silence?
Can you feel the silence?
Can you feel the silence?
Can you feel the silence?
[Chorus]
Hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
[Outro]
Hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
Hymns to the silence
