Leslie Phillips - Walls of Silence Lyrics

November evening
The warmth of families in the air
Dinner's on the table
And there's one empty chair

They had a fight this morning
He said he's never coming home
But for her it's almost normal
Being married all alone

That stony fear and hate that words can't articulate
The walls of silence, walls of silence
The walls of silence, walls of silence
The walls of silence, walls of silence
Our lives come down

She puts on a brave face
But they can see it in her eyes
Caught in the middle
They feel twisted up inside

They never want to come home
It just reminds them of the pain
And they hope and pray that their lives
Will never end up the same

That stony fear and hate that words can't articulate
The walls of silence, walls of silence
The walls of silence, walls of silence
The walls of silence, walls of silence
Our lives come down

That stony fear and hate that words can't articulate
Words can't articulate that stony fear and hate
The walls of silence, the walls of silence
The walls of silence go up
Our lives come down

Silence, silence
The walls of silence
The walls of silence
The walls of silence go up
Our lives come down

Walls of silence, walls of silence
Walls of silence, walls of silence
Walls of silence, walls of silence
