No Kind Words
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.
Dear friend of mine has
Broken his union
Broken from tradition
Broken his vision,
of the future
Alone, alone, alone;
Not alone at all.
Dear friend of mine is
Testing his body;
Tempting disaster
Testing Water,
With another's daughter
Alone, alone, alone;
Not alone at all.
Dear friend of mine my
Ear is bending
I'm not helping,
I'm not telling,
I'm not solving,
I'm not saying you're pretending
Alone, alone, alone;
Not alone at all.
Alone, alone, alone;
Not alone at all.
Dear friend of mine is
Helpless without helping
(Heal without scabs or scaring you
In Union fountain)
Alone, alone, alone;
Not alone at all.
Alone, alone, alone;
Not alone at all.
If you've got no kind words to say;
You should say nothing more at all.
If you've got no kind words to say;
You should say nothing more at all.
If you've got no kind words to say;
You should say nothing more at all.
If you've got no kind words to say;
You should say nothing more at all.
If you've got no kind words to say;
You should say nothing more at all.
If you've got no kind words to say;
You should say nothing more at all.
If you've got no kind words to say;
Don't carry the weight;
Let the weight carry you.
If you've got no kind words to say;
Don't carry the weight;
Let the weight carry you.
If you've got no kind words to say;
You should say nothing more at all.
