The Light of Day
She held her smile within a photograph
Kept at the bottom of a drawer
Captured clearly all in black and white
Her and a lover from before
She turned the lamp and she sat there still
Traced a finger 'cross his face
Thought of the snap shirt that he wore that day
In some distant time and place
Keep your thoughts to yourself and you'll be fine
Don't let them see the light of day
Tell the people what they want to hear
And you'll always have the right thing to say
The table's silent, but the radio plays
Over the words that go unsaid
She clears the table and she scrapes the plates
And sends the children off to bed
She runs the faucet 'til the water gets hot
Puts the plug into the drain
Thought of the time she packed her bags and went
Only to return again
Keep your thoughts to yourself and you'll be fine
Don't let them see the light of day
Tell the people what they want to hear
And you'll always have the right thing to say
Keep your thoughts to yourself and you'll be fine
Don't let them see the light of day
Tell the people what they want to hear
And you'll always have the right thing to say
Kept at the bottom of a drawer
Captured clearly all in black and white
Her and a lover from before
She turned the lamp and she sat there still
Traced a finger 'cross his face
Thought of the snap shirt that he wore that day
In some distant time and place
Keep your thoughts to yourself and you'll be fine
Don't let them see the light of day
Tell the people what they want to hear
And you'll always have the right thing to say
The table's silent, but the radio plays
Over the words that go unsaid
She clears the table and she scrapes the plates
And sends the children off to bed
She runs the faucet 'til the water gets hot
Puts the plug into the drain
Thought of the time she packed her bags and went
Only to return again
Keep your thoughts to yourself and you'll be fine
Don't let them see the light of day
Tell the people what they want to hear
And you'll always have the right thing to say
Keep your thoughts to yourself and you'll be fine
Don't let them see the light of day
Tell the people what they want to hear
And you'll always have the right thing to say
