Trivia

 * Vocalist Joe Goddard told Billboard magazine that this track was written immediately after seeing Susan Boyle's famous performance of "I Dreamed a Dream" on Britain's Got Talent. "I'd never seen it before and I found it quite incredible," Goddard recalled. "Just listening to that made me want to write a song. I sent the track to Alexis and he quickly wrote the words and sent it back."

Lyrics

 * When the wind dies down and the howling stops
 * The hurting starts, then I hear your name
 * In this quiet time, this aching time
 * I can hear your fingers on the window pane


 * If I was in the dark, if I was in the light
 * If we were walking through the forests of the night together
 * If we were taken down, down into the heart
 * Of the blackest night where we could sleep forever


 * Keep quiet, I hear you
 * Keep quiet, I hear you


 * When you sing, I think I know more than I hear you speak
 * I have to keep it close enough to me
 * 'Cause I don't want to disrupt all you think
 * And I don't want to disturb what we keep quiet


 * Baby, with these open arms I pray, I will not see the day without you
 * Homeless is the driving wind and I will run away with him without you, without you
 * Without you, without you
 * Without you


 * When you sing, I have to keep it close just as a hymn
 * And in your breath I know just what you sing
 * And spoken words might not be what we speak
 * 'Cause in our lungs there's something that we keep quiet
