Silent Movie - Marc Cohn

Never told nobody what you wanted

Never even raised your voice

Such a quiet woman in a house of noise

Sometimes I wonder if the quiet is everything it seems

How the story might have ended if you let it out in screams

Just let it out in screams

But I know, you were silent movie

You said your silent goodbyes

I know, you were silent movie

There’s no use in wondering why

If I could freeze a frame and listen more

It would all be in your eyes

Like a silent movie

There’s a star somewhere in heaven shining down on me

I can feel it in the darkness when I’m lost at sea

All the answers to the questions in a stream of light

All the forgiveness of a lifetime in the sky tonight

Says I know, you were silent movie

You said your silent goodbyes

I know, you were silent movie

There’s no use in wondering why

If I could freeze a frame and listen more

It would all be in your eyes

Like a silent movie…

Like a silent movie…
