Too Much Talkin'

[Verse 1] Well, the coffee's gone cold, and the pie’s all crumbs, But they’re still jabberin’, tongues won’t go numb. Talkin’ 'bout this, talkin’ 'bout that, A whole lotta noise, not much to unpack. [Chorus] Too much talkin’, not enough hearin’, Words keep flyin’, but they’re disappearin’. Silence is golden, but it don’t cost a dime, Let’s save a little breath, and buy some time. [Verse 2] Every story’s a circle, no end in sight, From sunup to sundown, they talk through the night. Opinions stack high like hay in the barn, But the wisdom’s as rare as a three-legged yarn. [Prechorus] Oh, hush for a minute, just let the wind blow, There's peace in the quiet, that they’ll never know. [Chorus] Too much talkin’, not enough hearin’, Words keep flyin’, but they’re disappearin’. Silence is golden, but it don’t cost a dime, Let’s save a little breath, and buy some time. [Bridge] The rooster don’t crow just to hear his own voice, He waits for the mornin’, and that’s his choice. So why can’t they learn from that wise old bird? Sometimes the loudest thing’s an unspoken word.
