Name: Silent Eyes
Description: “A comforting Paul Simon song I first sang with the Overhoop Singers during a live concert that my singing teacher Rachèl Louise organised for all her students in 2011. Because of the song I could record the first EP in Studio West Hoogland. Rob and I thought a viola would fit perfectly with Jerusalem.”

lyrics

Silent Eyes
Watching Jerusalem
Make her bed of stones
Silent Eyes
No One will comfort her;
Jerusalem
Weeps alone
She is sorrow, sorrow
She burns like a flame
And she calls my name

Silent Eyes
Burning in the desert sun
Halfway to Jerusalem
And we shall all be called as witnesses
Each and ev'ryone
To stand before the eyes of God
And speak what was done
