Hold Your Tongue

Hold your tongue and walk away

Say it's been a lovely day

Say tomorrow evening's fine

Meet me by St. John's divineUntil discordant bells have rung

Hold, hold your tongueHold your tongue and walk away

Say it's been a heavenly day

Angels sing a lullaby

Hush now, don't you start to cryGilded wing and silver lung

Hold, hold your tongueI'll say what I want to say and when I want it said

But tonight, love's coming down on meHold your tongue until you're gone

All your words might come undone

Say goodnight and walk away

Silent bows begin to swayChiming melodies unsung

Hold, hold your tongueAnd hold, hold your tongue

And hold, hold your tongue
