The silence falls softly About my shoulders Like an angel's kiss And in the peaceful serenity Of dusk The nighttime Creatures sing out why And they pull forth Some long forgotten Tragedy of words Oh the lingering scent Of you hair on my pillow The fading caress of your love In my bed No more love in my head And the silence falls softly About my shoulders and my mouth And winter descends with her Mocking laugh she has come To numb the wounds That have come to pass And in the peaceful silence The night of creatures sing out why They want to know why child You let him treat you that way child Oh he don't want to play no more He's all gone you were all wrong Too timid for the ride Oh now The only thing that I understand Is the silence on my fingers On my mouth Yeah I want to know why
