Silent in the Morning
by Phish
Album: Rift
Transcribed by Eli (Spiny@AOL.com).
The intro and outro are some riff in G that I can't quite get. Someone help, please.
G
My glance is always darting, when I stroll the avenue
G
Avoiding all the obstacles that terrorize my view
C G
If you are here with me, I trust you to lead the way
D C G
When you're not I follow you, and always go astray
G
You're silent in the morning, suspended in the trees
G
Lunch time comes you've found your voice, it brings me to my knees
C G
The volume just increases, the resounding echoes grow
D C G
Till once again I bask in morning stillness, I love so
G
The target that I shoot for seems to move with every breath
G
I tighten all my arteries and make one last request
C G
Divine creation hears me, and he squashes me with fear
D C G
I think that this exact thing happened to me, just last year
Chorus:
G Am
Silent in the morning
C D
You found your voice that brings me to
G Am
Silent in the morning
C D
You found your voice that brings me to
G Am
Silent in the morning
C D G C G C
You found your voice that brings me to my knees
G Am C D
I will not dismiss you, shelter you, speak with you
G Am C D
Smile at you, trust in me, laugh and brush you off, and I'd agree

| I always thought this song was about going to a phish show. Waking up and being amongst the trees in some cases and it being relatively quiet while everyone is still a little hung over and what not and then as the day proceeds it gradually gets louder. The whole thing about the obstaces and darting people might be about walking around possibly under the influence trying not to fall over or something. | |

| This song could easily be about tripping but all I feel is love and all it brings with it. I think it highlights the ebb and flow of both the inner self and the outer reality. My personal take - is a love that is waded in other things - but you ever realize how the morning itself brings such clarity - even if scary? This song personally makes me thing of my love who I am leaving and knows it but still there is nothing more comforting in the morning than how close and cuddlied we are and how difficult it is to find people of this nature -- people who like to really hear things and listen to their dreams and listen to each other, who know how to listen to the silence as well. | |

| I think this song is about tripping. How a lot of people get really quiet when they start to feel it (in the morning) and everything becomes "obstacles that terrorize my view" and so on and so forth. In any case it's a delicious song. | |

| I always assumed that this entire album was about the fall of a relationship from the point of first realizing it's doomed.....this song being the final "freedom" one feels when finally single again...(your voice brings me to my knees aka fingernails on the blackboard). | |
