These walls have eyes
Rows of photographs
And faces like mine
Who do we become
Without knowing where
We started from
It's true I'm missing you
As I stand alone in your room
Everyday that will pass you by
Every name that you won't recall
Everything that you made by hand
Everything that you know by heart
And I will try to connect
All the pieces you left
I will carry it on
And let you forget
And I'll remember the years
When your mind was clear
How the laughter and life
Filled up this silent house
One room
Two single beds
In the closet hangs
Your favorite dress
The books that you read
Are in scattered piles
Of paper shreds
Everything that you made by hand
Everything that you know by heart
And I will try to connect
All the pieces you left
I will carry it on
And let you forget
And I'll remember the years
When your mind was clear
How the laughter and life
Filled up this silent house
Silent house
In the garden off the living room
A chill fills the air
And the lilies bloom
And I will try to connect
All the pieces you left
I will carry it on
And let you forget
And I'll remember the years
When your mind was clear
How the laughter and life
Filled up this
And I will try to connect
All the pieces you left
I will carry it on
And let you forget
And I'll remember the years
When your mind was clear
How the laughter and life
Filled up this silent house

Review about Silent House Crowdies live 2007 | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/8/2007
While I fell in love with this song on the 2007 Crowded House album "Time on Earth," it wasn't until I saw them perform it live that my love affair was cemented. A beautiful, haunting ballad full of rich imagery and powerful harmonies. If this is what comes of Neil Finn co-writing with the Dixie Chicks, I say bring it on!
Cowriter for "Silent House" - Neil Finn, formerly of Crowded House | Reviewer: Catherine Todd | 2/22/2007
I was mesmerized by this song while watching the documentary "Shut up and Sing" with the aftermath of the Bush comment by one of the Dixie Chicks. It is magnificent, and co-written by Neil Finn, formerly of Crowded House. I hope that he, and the other songwriters on their very fine album are given credit on this website. (Gary Louris, formerly of the Jayhawks and Dan Wilson, formerly of Semisonic).
This website is one of the few that ever listed any songwriters at all, and I found the actual songwriters names on Performing Songwriter.com. Thanks.
