The silence

I can walk in and out this door, that's no problem
I can take your hardest punch and more, i absorb them
I can listen to you when you launch your next tirade
I can give back twice as much leave you in the shade
I can get the sleep i need when the bed's not even made
There's only one thing sends me off the rails
That's the silence, silence…………..
I've got nothing hidden up my sleeve, makes me uneasy
I could never set out to deceive i blush too easy
If you hide your volcano i'll know your smile's a sham
I'd much prefer the china break or door go slam
Keep it in the open so i'll know where i am
All you get from talking to a clam.
We still share the same bed every night but its not creaking
You're the outside left i'm outside right when we're not speaking
We can dream a different dream in the cold light of dawn
Still take in a party, smile like joan and sean
You can do your blue bayou, i sing the rocks'a'bawn
In the taxi home the knives are drawn.
