Silent Partner Lyrics

Take it easy

Easier than it's been up to now

She's not ready to believe you

Don't feel helpless

Put your shoulder to the plough

Clear a space enough to see through

Love's not all you need

You can ask for the moon

But the moon's just a state of mind

Don't go under

Don't say nothing when it's everything

It's 13 years of treading water

Your silent partner

I can't supervise your suffering

Or surrender to the natural order

Love's not all you need

You can ask for the moon

But the moon's just a state of mind

Keeping yourself to yourself is OK

Don't try to hide or decide to just wave it away

Faith in the kindness of strangers will bury us all

Take the call, anyway

Love's not all you need

You can ask for the moon

But the moon isn't what you lack

There's no guarantee

When you open your heart

To a heart that won't open back
