The Silence

I can walk in and out this door, that's no problem

I can take your hardest punch and more, i absorb them

I can listen to you when you launch your next tirade

I can give back twice as much leave you in the shade

I can get the sleep i need when the bed's not even made

There's only one thing sends me off the rails

That's the silence, silence…………..

I've got nothing hidden up my sleeve, makes me uneasy

I could never set out to deceive i blush too easy

If you hide your volcano i'll know your smile's a sham

I'd much prefer the china break or door go slam

Keep it in the open so i'll know where i am

All you get from talking to a clam.

We still share the same bed every night but its not creaking

You're the outside left i'm outside right when we're not speaking

We can dream a different dream in the cold light of dawn

Still take in a party, smile like joan and sean

You can do your blue bayou, i sing the rocks'a'bawn

In the taxi home the knives are drawn.
