Speechless for Once Lyrics by Van Johnson

Van Johnson

0

It was dark and, in a daze
We stumbled home at the end of the day
With holes in our hearts, the faces were grey
We were speechless for once...
It was dark and, in a daze
We stumbled home at the end of the day
With holes in our hearts, the faces were grey
We were speechless for once...

I cannot stay
Another year in this ghost town
I cannot sleep
When the wind keeps blowing its way through the trees
I cannot breath
When all of our words are stifled into meaningless "I love you's"

When every heart is like an autumn leaf;

Dead on the branch and rotting away
Dead on the branch and rotting away
Dead, dead on the branch... And rotting away
Dead on the branch and rotting away

It was dark and, in a daze
We stumbled home
At the end of the day, at the end of the day
With holes in our hearts
The faces were grey, the faces were grey
Speechless for once...
The faces were grey, the faces were grey
Speechless for once...

Screams sewn shut
Screams sewn shut
Screams sewn shut
Screams sewn shut

Screams sewn shut
Screams sewn shut
Screams sewn shut
Screams sewn shut
Screams sewn shut
Screams sewn shut
Screams sewn shut

It was dark and, in a daze
We stumbled home
At the end of the day, at the end of the day
With holes in our hearts
The faces were grey, the faces were grey
Speechless for once...
The faces were grey, the faces were grey
Speechless for once...

Static, static, static, static
Static, static, static, static
Static, static, static, static
Static, static, static, static

We have tried, we have tried
(Static, static, static, static)
To keep this tempo
We have tried, we have tried
(Static, static, static, static)
To keep this tempo
We have tried, we have tried
(Static, static, static, static)
To keep this tempo
We have tried to keep this tempo
We have tried

And, all the while, we wear our grief
And our failures like halos, you and I
Angels that could never be
Never be, never be
And, all the while, we wear our grief
And our failures like halos, you and I
Angels that could never be
Never be, never be

And, all the while, we wear our grief
And our failures like halos, you and I
Angels that could never be
Never be, never be
And, all the while, we wear our grief
And our failures like halos, you and I
Angels that could never be
Never be, never be
