G                     C
Silence is simply the absence of sound

D7                      G
Darkness the absence of light

           G7         C           Am
My life is made up of silence and darkness

D7                               G
Since the absence of you from my side


C                    G
We became birds of a different feather

D7                           G           D7
Encountering storms we could neither one weather

G                  C
I define anyone to define me your way

   D7                       G
My heart can't go on this a-way

Nearness is simply the absence of absence

D7                      G
Wrong is the absence of right

           G7             C          Am
My life is made up of the absence of nearness

D7                               G
Since the absence of you from my side


C                    G
We became birds of a different feather

D7                           G           D7
Encountering storms we could neither one weather

G                  C
I define anyone to define me your way

   D7                       C D7 G
My heart can't go on this a-w-a-y
