lyrics

Can’t stand there silence
It feeds on my heavy mind
Gusts at my window sing to me some
Twisted lullaby

I can’t stand the silence
Though I told you that I’d give you time
Love often seems to have these teeth that sink into this
Naked heart of mine

Talk to me my love
We’re losing precious moments
They mean more to me than stolen glory
Talk to me

I can’t stand the silence
Feels like you’ve punished me enough
My words became my dinner... rotten as they were
Maybe that’s why I can’t sleep tonight

Or is it the cold cold cold silence
Shooting shivers in my spine
Lady I know you’re hurting too
Drop a line we can work it through
Or just tell me it will be alright
You need some space to heal your mind
But I’m anxious, can’t you see I’m blind if you don’t talk to me

I don’t want to be right
I want to be right with you
Life fleets to fast to be spending it fighting you
Ease my heart darling, shield my thoughts with your words
And I’ll muster some courage to ensure that they’re heard
Oh I doubt my consoling will ever be enough
But could you lend your ear and extend your trust

Could you talk to me my love
We’re losing precious moments
They mean more to me than stolen glory
Talk to me
