The World Went Quiet There

เนื้อเพลง

[Verse 1] The clock was down to borrowed breath The keeper crouched beneath the rain Leo set the ball and looked At all the years inside that frame [Pre-Chorus] One small step, one held-up sound A whole wide country leaning in [Chorus] Leo, the world went quiet there One last chance, one open square The ball rose high and missed its home And every heart walked back alone Leo, we saw you turn away Still we’ll remember how you stayed When all that mattered slipped from sight You carried us into the night [Verse 2] A scarf lay folded on the seat A little flag against the rail The final whistle cut the air While strangers tried to hide their tears [Pre-Chorus] You stood beneath the falling lights And faced the silence, face to face [Chorus] Leo, the world went quiet there One last chance, one open square The ball rose high and missed its home And every heart walked back alone Leo, we saw you turn away Still we’ll remember how you stayed When all that mattered slipped from sight You carried us into the night [Bridge] Years from now, a child will ask What happened when the seconds ran We’ll say you took the hardest shot And still you stood, still you began [Final Chorus] Leo, the world went quiet there One last chance, one open square The ball rose high and missed its home But you were never there alone Leo, we saw you turn away And heard the crowd call out your name When all that mattered slipped from sight You carried us into the night [Outro] The whistle fades, the field goes still Your name remains beyond the hill
