Silence Is a Strong Reply - Murray Head

Can’t you hear me calling, I’m shouting out loud

Maybe you’ve mistaken me for one of the crowd

My back’s against the wall, my feeling’s on show

Silence is the only reply that I know

The sleeping dog in me won’t lie

But when I’m woken you can’t, no can’t deny

When you fall in love from the very start

You give your love and then they break your heart

When dreams are broken silence is a strong reply

Can’t you hear me laughing, exposing my fears

Can’t you see me crying, withholding the tears

There isn’t any point in closing your hears

The silence that’s between us is the passing of years

Take a breath where the earth touches the sky

We can both feel the reason why

When you fall in love from the very start

You give your love and then they break your heart

Because silence is a strong reply

Silence is a strong reply
