Silence

There's a valley, in your heart

And I've slept down in that valley before

I have seen it from on top of the world

And I have laid upon the desert floor

And I saw that it could burn you, take you down and turn you

Into a silent man

But the silence doesn't suit you well, my friend

In this valley there are daydreams,

There are rivers running under the ground

I have seen it running through you

And I have seen it when you're nowhere around

And I know that you're still waking, years it took in making

You could ride the river again

For the silence doesn't suit you well, my friend

Oh the silence, silence, silence, doesn't suit you well

Please don't give up.....and make no sense

Don't go down that quiet road, don't give in to silence

There's a wisdom in your eyes

And I think there's something you ought 'a say

I can see it coming through you

I have seen it each and every day

You could really tell it, I can almost taste it

You could write a river in pen

For the silence doesn't suit you well my friend
