Silence Is King - Tanya Tucker

She tests every word like a fine wine

She holds every thought like her last dime

You can hear a pin drop from miles away

You can hear a heart stop as plain as day

We live in a land where silence is king

Whispers have all disappeared

Cry for an echo, you won’t hear a thing

Silence is king around here

Silence is king around here

Where are the dreams we were after

Where is the joy and the laughter

Were they only habits we were doomed to lose

Or is destiny not ours to choose

We live in a land where silence is king

Whispers have all disappeared

Cry for an echo, you won’t hear a thing

Silence is king around here

Silence is king around here

Desperate measures come from desperate times

I don’t regret what I have done

If my actions made you speak your mind

Angry words are better than none

We live in a land where silence is king

Whispers have all disappeared

Cry for an echo, you won’t hear a thing

Silence is king around here

Silence is king around here

Silence is king around here
