Hot Chip - Keep Quiet lyrics

rate me

<br>

When the wind dies down and the howling stops<br />

The hurting starts, then I hear your name<br />

In this quiet time, this aching time<br />

I can hear your fingers on the window pane<br />

<br />

If I was in the dark, if I was in the light<br />

If we were walking through the forests of the night together<br />

If we were taken down, down into the heart<br />

Of the blackest night where we could sleep forever<br />

<br />

Keep quiet, I hear you<br />

Keep quiet, I hear you<br />

<br />

When you sing, I think I know more than I hear you speak<br />

I have to keep it close enough to me<br />

'Cause I don't want to disrupt all you think<br />

And I don't want to disturb what we keep quiet<br />

<br />

Baby, with these open arms I pray, I will not see the day without you<br />

Homeless is the driving wind and I will run away with him without you, without you<br />

Without you, without you<br />

Without you<br />

<br />

When you sing, I have to keep it close just as a hymn<br />

And in your breath I know just what you sing<br />

And spoken words might not be what we speak<br />

'Cause in our lungs there's something that we keep quiet

<br><br><br><br>
