Vow of Silence
Vow of Silence;
Well the dawn draws nigh
in the pale blue sky
and the birds outside in song;
as I close my eyes
and droop my head
and wonder what went wrong;
till the sun sits high
in some grey-white sky
outside kids laugh and play;
but I don't get far
before she returns
and I wonder what to say;
but the silence lingers
till the day-light dwindles
and the dusk stalks gently on;
now the streets are quiet
and she was right,
right, right all along;
But it's night time now
and I kept my vow
and the birds have quit their song;
and I wonder, I wonder
if before I die,
if I'll ever sing along.
