Shout for Silence

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
