Level 42 - Silence Lyrics

Lonely girl lies awake at night
Silence ringing in her ears
There's a boy who is on her mind
So much promise unfulfilled

She had waited so patiently
He had nothing more to say
Not a sound as she slowly walked away
Lonely boy watching from the bridge

His reflection in the lake
There's a girl who seems out of reach
And a choice he has to make
Lonely boy what will you become

If you let her slip away
Tomorrow's pain of regret may come too late

Too many people suffer in silence
Because they're afraid, love will never come their way
So many walk behind a veil of sorrow
So many know they have themselves to blame

Good reasons not to wait until tomorrow
So don't be afraid, love will always come your way
He should say he's a lonely man
She may have heard it all before, he should say he's a faithful man

She can never be too sure
If only he would communicate
There'd be nothing in their way
Only then would she understand his pain

Too many people suffer in silence
Because they're afraid, love will never come their way
So many walk behind a veil of sorrow
So many know they have themselves to blame

Too many people suffer in silence
So don't be afraid, love will always come your way
