"Silent Witness" was written for a couple who were separated by death....and how the one who has departed is still watching...is now the "Silent Witness." Basically it's about how we are never separated from loved ones, even when they pass on.

Story behind the song
The song "Silent Witness" from the CD Sandcastles, was written after I heard a true story about the legendary guitar player and inventor Les Paul, and his beloved wife, the singer Mary Ford. Apparently they divorced, partly from the strains of being in the music business together, and tragically, after Mary Ford passed away, Les Paul said that all they had really needed was a vacation... not a divorce. I wrote it from the perspective of the one who was "left behind".... being watched by the one in Heaven... the "Silent Witness" who still cares and watches over their loved one. Les Paul actually got to hear the song, and told me he loved it. When I lived in New York I used to go down to the jazz club "Fat Tuesdays" to hear Les Paul play his guitar...what a performer, and what a great storyteller also!!!
Lyrics
SILENT WITNESS By Jennifer Avalon & Noel Boland When I lay myself upon the sheets I pray to the Lord my soul to keep Every night before I fall asleep, I think of you Somehow when the stars are in the sky I have to wipe the tears that fill my eyes Everytime your memory passes by, I break in two because nothing has replaced you and no one can fill your shoes SILENT WITNESS, THOUGH DEATH DID PART US NOTHING WILL SEPARATE OUR TWO HEARTS YOU'RE MY SILENT WITNESS WATCHING IN MY SLEEP I ALMOST CAN HEAR YOU BREATHE, SILENTLY If I had it all to do again I wouldn't trade a single moment spent Many times I sit remembering when, I fell for you because life was never better your love transformed this fool SILENT WITNESS, THOUGH DEATH DID PART US NOTHING WILL SEPARATE OUR TWO HEARTS YOU'RE MY SILENT WITNESS WATCHING OVER ME I ALMOST CAN HEAR YOU SPEAK your photograph remains beside my bed I know someday our eyes will meet again YOU'RE MY SILENT WITNESS WATCHING IN MY SLEEP SILENT WITNESS WATCHING OVER ME YOU'RE MY SILENT WITNESS WAITING PATIENTLY, TO MEET IN ETERNITY © Jennifer Avalon
