Somewhere in the silence.

Clouds of another life

wash across the sunlight

changing shape as they go by

thought i saw your face there

but like them

you jus' disappear

disappear into empty sky

quietly

and so removed from reason

hey

have you ever had to reason?

hey

the eagle comes and goes

to somewhere much higher

when the silence grows

can you hear it, sniper?

visions and memories

where some one once laid flowers

for the past and things to come

thought you were gone

but i can feel you

so i turn around

turn around yes, and there you are

here again

can you give it some meaning?

hey

ask again, but you say nothing

hey

motion without sound

ice inside the fire

the stillness in the storm

silence hides the sniper

eagles come and go

to someplace much higher

and when the silence grows

can you hear it, sniper?

what goes through your sniper's mind?
