Silent Spring


Sung by Bobby Gillespie
Written by Gillespie/Beattie

If all the birds have cursed the sky
A flaming fortress hunting prey
A feathered bird deflowered dies
Flowers die

A knife has turned on life itself
Where skin is bathed in poison rain
A room right on an empty shelf
empty shelf

All the time in the world
And you never changed a thing
All the time in the world
And you stood back and watched the silent spring
The silent spring

The hammering of every breath
A legacy of decay infests
Just let me imagine Mother earth
Mother earth

All the time in the world
And you never changed a thing
All the time in the world
And you stood back and watched the silent spring
The silent spring

All the time in the world
And you never changed a thing
All the time in the world
And you stood back and watched the silent spring
The silent spring
Silent spring X2
