Silence And I

If I cried out loud
Over sorrows I've known
And the secrets I have heard
It would ease my mind
Someone sharing the load
But I won't breathe a word

We're two of a kind
Silence and I
We need a chance to talk things over
We're two of a kind
Silence and I
We'll find a way to work it out

While the children laughed
I was always afraid
Of the smile of the clown
So I close my eyes
'Til I can't see the light
And I hide from the sound

We're two of a kind
Silence and I
We need a chance to talk things over
We're two of a kind
Silence and I
We'll find a way to work it out

I can hear the cry
Of a leaf on a tree
As it falls to the ground
I can hear the call
Of an echoing voice
And there's no one around, ooh-ooh

We're two of a kind
Silence and I
We need a chance to talk things over
We're two of a kind
Silence and I
We'll find a way to work it out
