That sound wouldn’t let me sleep.
I heard it again and again. There was no one around.
No one moving. No one talking. No one laughing.
And to think about it made me shiver.

I could hear rumbling drums and a marching band.
I could hear cars passing by.
I could hear a baby cry.
But it was all down deep in my mind.

I heard it again, slowly creeping through my ears as I shivered.
There was no one around.
No one moving. No one talking. No one laughing.
But this sound was not in my mind.

I couldn hear rumbling drums and a marching band.
I could hear cars passing by.
I could hear a baby cry.
But all down deep in my mind.
All I could really hear,
was the sound of silence.
