Not a Word

This trail of tears I follow

Has led me to your crying eyes

You've grown so sad and hollow

From a life you've been denied

You spoke not a word as a child

Not a word has changed

Now the black day speaks

So clearly

Hang loosely on the spoke

It's plain to see it's not the same

A heart so close when broken

Black ends the light of day

You spoke not a word as a child

Not a word has changed

Spoke not a word as a child

Not a word has changed

His loving arms grew cold

And they hold you now as chains

And now the black day speaks

So clearly
