When we don't Speak
TommyD 1957 (Ft. Lee)
When We don't Speak
A deafening sound , echos down our homes halls
Its fervent impression , ricochets off the walls
What did I say , what did I do
While finding the silence , now infused within you
We've laughed and we've cried , we have been through so much
That I'm finding it hard , and I'm missing your touch
If there's anything now , that would make me rejoice
Is to look in your eyes , and to hear your sweet voice
Life seems so heavy , thoughts gather noise
They muster the essence , of sorrows and joys
Please find in your heart , to now forgive me
And loose me from sorrow , your love sets me free
