Light up a cigarette to kill time
Pacing this floor another dozen times
If there was some way to express it otherwise, I would
Fed up on fighting over crumbs and dust
Don't have to be this way, a hollow trust
If we could find some way to make it right, we would, we wouldAnd then the silence came, there was not a word to say
One hour felt like a day when the silence came
We felt it on our bodies, no way to turn it around
One hour felt like a day when the silence cameCan't hear nothing but the dripping from the town
Blowing kisses, no one to grab
Need to organize this life that we have, if we couldGod knows what we have sacrificed
Guess we deserve the days of our lives
Wish we could learn how to let things slide away, just for a dayAnd then the silence came, there was not a word to say
One hour felt like a day when the silence came
We felt it on our bodies, no way to turn it around
One hour felt like a day when the silence cameGod knows what we have sacrificed
Guess we deserve the days of our lives
Wish we could learn how to let things slide for a dayAnd then the silence came, there was not a word to say
One hour felt like a day when the silence came
We felt it on our bodies, no way to turn it around
One hour felt like a day when the silence came
