Lyrics
LOST IN THE SILENCE (C) 2002 Hart, Woodward
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.
