| "Lost in the Silence" (c) & (p) 2005 Hart, Woodward, Betty Troublesome Music (ASCAP) You begged me to lie upon your breast, and, trembling, I complied. All lovers ache to be caressed, so I laid down softly by your side. A shady spot down by the creek, and moss beneath my head, your wordless touch just made me weak on that cool, green-velvet lovers' bed. Lost, I was lost in the silence of love. Your kisses urged me here and now and warmed my pale, pale skin. I brushed a curl upon your brow and wondered if it was a sin. You murmured, "Love, a price you'd pay if I gave you a child," and as you swore you'd never stray, I watched your eyes grow wild. Lost, I was lost in the silence of love. Though by the river I go weep for loss of your embrace, it's promises you would not keep that make me hide my face. Now they may hear me sadly sing, "Bring back my blue-eyed boy." Your babe into this world I'll bring, though your love I no longer enjoy. Lost, I was lost in the silence of love. Lost, I was lost in the silence of love. Lost, I was lost in the silence of love. |
