Lyrics
?Silenciosa? Meryl Leppard c 1994
the crucifix around my neck
is nestled safe between my breasts
token of the love I left behind
I polish it with love and care
For the child I?ve chosen not to bear
I?ll cradle fruit of love another time
Silenciosa
My lips are sealed
Silenciosa
Nothing revealed
And how I love you
I dare not say
Silence is golden today
I hear your footsteps on the stair
I run to see but no-one?s there
Shadow on the wall looks back at me
I whisper into empty space
Of how I?d love to stroke your face
Distant bells chime a prayer for me
Silenciosa
My lips are sealed
Silenciosa
Nothing revealed
And how I love you
I dare not say
Silence is golden today
How could you bear it my lover
How could you stand the light of day
Knowing I love you
Knowing you leave me
Hearing me beg you to stay
Silenciosa
My lips are sealed
Silenciosa
Nothing revealed
And how I love you
I dare not say
Silence is golden today
Silence is golden today
Silence is golden today.
