Story Behind The Song
Written while smitten with my handsome, talented man (ooh, I like that..."written while smitten"). We hadn't yet hit the tidal wave that would eventually be our undoing but had experienced some bumpy patches. I was often on the road and wanted him to know I would always come back and make things right (little did I know...but more about that in a later song).

Lyrics
Silent Partner
V1: I am the silent partner
My silence is my way
I sit back and listen
To what you have to say
Your music is your magic
And the stories you tell
Are all I have to know you by
And I know you so well
V2: Remember when the dark clouds
Seem to swallow the moon
We're stronger when together
And I'll be there with you soon
I have always seen your beauty
I've loved you from the start
I've seen the candle flicker
Whenever we're apart
V3: Hold on a little longer
I'll be there by tonight
I'm riding in on faith, love
To set the wrong around you right
I need what only you can give me
I want to watch you as you grow
I don't have to tell you
You already know
