Lyrics
Speak Soft
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Jerry had some beers and started to sing
he knows just what he means he don't mean a thing
he waited for the wisdom years would bring, to him
on the refrigerator door
are the words he had written moments before
it says 'i hope i never have to go to war'
speak soft, baby don't you talk to me
he goes to the dance and falls in love
years later it's still her he's thinking of
she never spoke once or even looked up, enough
speak soft, baby don't you talk to me
Houdini closed himself inside of a box
he didn't have a trick to spring the lock
off the stage the people watched, the clock
prison could be a nice place to live
the bars on the window like bars on a crib
freedom is the least desired gift, to give
speak soft, baby don't you talk to me
Jerry had some beers and started to weep
it's time to turn away, it's his time to sleep
don't trouble yourself with seeking peace, go cheap
