Silence

LETRA

Silence

(silence, silence now)
(silence, silence now)
As you sit and read the paper dozing off you dim the light put your glasses on the table sink into your easy chair
dream the dream you've always dreamed of
you're a boy so free and wild
in this dream you capture freedom
and you're not your father's child
people cheer and clap their hands
now you dream that you're a man
amidst applause and blissful noise
you cannot hear your father's voice
saying silence, silence, now
silence, silence, now
as you dream you're in the circus
ran away from home at ten
got yourself a painted pony
somersaults upon his back
this is what you've always wanted
could this be the proudest land?
share a laugh with all the carneys
limelight and adoring fans
people cheer and clap their hands
now you dream that you're a man
amidst applause among the noise
you'll never hear your father's voice
screaming silence, silence now
silence, silence now
As you sit and read your paper dozing off you dim the light as you wake your dream is over forget it all and say good night
good night (repeat until fade)
