At the Eugene Vocal Arts performance on Friday, April 7, 2017, they sang this exquisite creation by the late Jon Sutton.

 

Silent Space by Jon Sutton

 

In the silent space between us,

there are fields of grasses bending,

and they whisper something diff’rently to each of us in time.

 

In the silent space between us,

there are ripples on the water,

and their echoes bring an image diff’rently to each of us in time.

 

There are mists on cloudy mornings,

with many shades of blossoms dipped in dew.

And the light unveils the greyness as tho’ we knew each other always.

And as the branches grow apart, so do our mem’ries make us diff’rent.

 

Still, in the silent space between us we are one.
