There's a cool web of silence winds us in Words melt us down and we spin again The less we speak the less we cry You and I There's a hot bed of anger just ahead We are fighting to be led from the fire To the clouds where the cool, cool silence Winds us in Maybe You should have told me that you were awake I should have said I'm afraid There's the comfort of strangers every night I'm aware of how I hide isn't right Here I go to the cool, cool silence Maybe You should have told me that you were awake I should have said I'm afraid There's a cool web of silence winds us in Words melt us down and we spin again The less we speak the less we cry You and I
