Subject: Lyr Add: BITTERSWEET SILENCE (George Papavgeris) From: George Papavgeris Date: 17 Nov 11 - 05:38 PM Born out of an expression Andrew Motion (I think) used during a Radio 4 interview on the morning of 11/11. The "bittersweet silence" referred to here is the 2 minutes silence to remember te fallen. Bittersweet Silence BITTERSWEET SILENCE George Papavgeris, November 2011 In the bittersweet silence Wind, don't hide in the trees Birds, don't give up your song Bees, your humming don't ease You're the prize that's been won And the price that's been paid By the ones gone before For the ones that remained In the bittersweet silence Children, don't stop your play Lovers, don't break your kiss Laughter, don't go away You're the signposts of life And the pleasures so dear To the ones left behind Yet in mind always near Never again! Never again! Never, never, never again! So don't stare at the ground As the seconds pass by And don't ask Who or How Ask instead only "Why?" In the bittersweet silence There's a lesson untold By the ones who stayed young So we'd learn to grow old Never again! Never again! Never, never, never, never, never again! |
