Still Smiling

A Quiet Life

Lyrics:

The town was a ghost
Every porch light on
Shadows stretched long where the search had begun
Every step felt like a stone in my chest
Each breath I took
I wished for the rest

Then the phone rang sharp
Like a blade through the night
Words fell heavy
Stole all the light

They said the creek whispers
It knows what’s been done
The water’s gone quiet
No place to run
They said the creek whispers
But it won’t speak lies
And I fell to my knees
Tears in my eyes

Boots in the mud
Lanterns swaying like ghosts
The scent of the pines cut deep
Too close
I called his name
Though I knew he’d gone still
The creek’s cold truth
It bent to its will

They said the creek whispers
It knows what’s been done
The water’s gone quiet
No place to run
They said the creek whispers
But it won’t speak lies
And I fell to my knees
Tears in my eyes

The stars blinked down
As if they knew
The wind hummed a hymn
The reeds bowed too
And there he lay
My heart’s only thread
The creek had spoken
My boy was dead

They said the creek whispers
It knows what’s been done
The water’s gone quiet
No place to run
They said the creek whispers
But it won’t speak lies
And I fell to my knees
Tears in my eyes
