It's a cryin' shame The way we fall apart Love's no fittin' game For he who's meek of heart We fan the dyin' flame With tender lovin' words Too gentle, too gentle to be heard The silence, it will beat you to the ground Will eat you up inside, no livin' sound Could ever cause you pain as bad as this I am flyin' low To see if I can find The way of lettin' go of you But keep my mind, I am tryin' so To deal with the absurd That can't find, can't find the words The silence, it will beat you to the ground Will eat you up inside, no livin' sound Could ever cause you pain as bad as this Don't roll no drums Let silence come To take your place and fill the empty space you left to me The silence, it will beat you to the ground Will eat you up inside, no livin' sound Could ever cause you pain as bad as this The silence, it will beat you to the ground Will eat you up inside, no livin' sound Could ever cause you pain as bad as this
