silence

Silence
Silence
go on
Silence
Silence
pinch me

The mood is on
The raid is done
as time bends
Heaven's song
has just been done
by minstrels life defends

Silence
Silence
go on
Silence
Silence
pinch me - again

And as I sit on this cold seat
I stare thinking
the day may be ours again
As I said with no advice to give
or a weapon to lend

In the time it's taken - to get here
we've achieved every dream but two
that the sainted one inside of me wishes to do

Silence
Silence
go on

So how much more can a begging man give
How much if he's fed on fear
in that bar that's always closed with his only friend

Neither one of us - expects much of the other anymore
we've accepted the truth
Still - neither one of us - will settle for the empty grail

And as I lay under covers
I make plans
to follow up on these demands
and take flight
into the moment's glance

So into the night we go
