Shout for Silence Lyrics

She lay sleeping

Lit by the first rays of dawn

Over her he was standing

Waiting for the resumption of the war

Their bed was narrow

So together their lives

When they met she was married

They hid all that violence inside

Shout for silence

The day is coming too soon

If he could find a moment

He'd sing to her this tune

Oh, I have loved you

From the moment I first saw your eyes

Into your arms I fell trembling

In terror of hearing goodbyes

Though all my dreams have left me

I'd fall for you over again

But the light comes down

And they say to you now

That I'm only your fair-weather friend

But though you nearly hate me

I'd stick with you till the end

I can feel you standing

Your eyes bore right through me

I just keep mine closed 'cause

I don't want to hear what you're gonna say to me

You tell me you love me

You don't know what you mean

Your words full of emptiness

Your whispers so obscene

Shout for silence

The day is coming too soon

If she could find a moment

She'd dance with him round the room

Oh, I have loved you

From the moment I first saw your eyes

Into your arms I fell trembling

In terror of hearing goodbyes

Though all my dreams have left me

I'd fall for you over again

But the light comes down

And they say to me now

That you're only my fair-weather friend

But though you nearly hate me

I'd stick with you till the end
