Speed Of Silence Lyrics - Dog's Eye View

All the letters I ever wrote you 

And some of them I even sent 

All this time we've been waiting 

For this moment to arrive 

And now it's here 

Now I know I could kiss you 

But before I do 

Do we want to let go 

Of this magic 

And let it turn to truth 

From mystery 

Let all this hope be history 

And it's as fast as fear 

As it cuts away the sound 

And slaps you when you're smiling 

Just how easily you lose 

Everything you've found 

At the speed of silence 

When you told me you loved me 

And I didn't say a word 

I said I was sorry 

And you pretended 

You never heard at all 

It's funny how the tears 

Can well up 

But neither of us ever drown 

How many times 

We bring the sun up, sure 

It won't fall down 

And there it goes 

And leaves us staring 

At our toes 

It's the way the wind blows the water 

But nothing underneath it moves 

When I asked you what you wanted 

You didn't speak and then I knew 

Everything was ruined again
