Lessons of Our Silence

[Куплет 1] I kept your letter in the kitchen drawer Beside the keys you left beside the door The paper bends where my hands have been I read the part where you said, “begin” [Алдынғы қайырма] The house still knows the shape of you Every quiet room pulls me through [Қайырма] If distance has a language, let it speak Carry my name somewhere i cannot reach I’m learning to hold what i cannot keep With a little hope and a heart still weak (Ahh, ahh) (Ohh, ohh) [Куплет 2] Your blue scarf hangs from the bedroom chair One loose thread resting in the air I took the long road past the old café Where we lost an afternoon and stayed [Алдынғы қайырма] The years move on, but not in time Your absence keeps its hand in mine [Қайырма] If distance has a language, let it speak Carry my name somewhere i cannot reach I’m learning to hold what i cannot keep With a little hope and a heart still weak (Ahh, ahh) (Ohh, ohh) [Көпір] Maybe the morning will soften the view Maybe i’ll find a way back to you Not as before, not asking why Just two small lights beneath the same sky [Final chorus] If distance has a language, let it speak Carry my name somewhere i cannot reach I’m learning to love what i cannot keep With a little hope and a heart still weak (Ahh, ahh) (Ohh, ohh) [Аутро] The letter sleeps in the kitchen drawer Your keys are gone, but i still hear the door
