lyrics

A sign of the times
In my personal history
Racing thoughts of fear
Of my own mortality

A sign of the times
In my unread biography
There’s too much noise to think
I need your silent company

Please don’t say a word
Just hold your breath for me
No, I couldn’t sleep last night
Too worried what might happen to me
No, I don’t want to talk about it
I just want your company
Please don’t go, please don’t go

Standing in the road
With no direction home
Everywhere I look
And everyplace I roam

Standing in the road
With blindfolded eyes
The sound is deafening
From the traffic rolling by

Chorus repeats

Please don’t say a word
There’s not a thing I haven’t heard
There’s not a day that goes by
There’s not a thing I haven’t tried

So, please just save your breath
Whatever might be on your chest
But please just stay with me, I need it desperately
Some quiet empathy

Don’t say a word
Please don’t say a word
