silence was a melody

Silence was a melody
Snow had fallen to the ground
You were waiting like a lone shadow
As the cars drove on
Carnivals and childhood playgrounds
Lost to my memory
Walked upon the barren wasteland
Hiding in his overcoat
And if I ever find someone
You know the winter wouldn’t be so cold
Be so cold
Eyes of smiling children
Crying in the wind
Memories swirling like a swan song
When silence was a melody
