lyrics

It goes roaring through the sunshine
It comes crying out of pain
It goes dashing like the wind
Through the Appaloosa mane

But I can hear it calling
When sound all seems insane
I'm friends with silence
In an old fashioned way

Some phone is always ringing
The highway's humming low
Even on the mountain
In the shade of the grove

But I can feel its patience
On the most restless of days
I'm friends with silence
In an old fashioned way

I'm friends with the sound of sunlight
As it falls onto the ground
I'm thankful for the places that it takes me
And for all the thoughts I've found

When I can't find the right word
If I got nothing to say
I'm friends with silence
In an old fashioned way

I can hear them changing stations
On the other side of this wall
Somebody's yelling 'bout something
Somewhere down the hall

If I had the money
I'd leave this place to stay
I'm friends with silence
But I've got debts to pay

I'm friends with the sound of moonlight
As it falls onto the ground
I'm thankful for the places that it takes me
And for all the thoughts I've found

When I can't find the right word
If I got nothing to say
I'm friends with silence
In an old fashioned way
