A Crying Shame (feat. Kurt Elling)

It's a crying shame

The way we fall apart

Love's no fitting game

For he who's meek of heart

We fan the dying flame

With tender loving words

Too gentle, too gentle to be heard

The silence it will beat you to the ground

Will eat you up inside

No living sound

Could ever cause you pain as bad as this

I am lying low

To see if I can find

A way of letting go of you

But keep my mind

I am trying so

To deal with the absurd

But can't find, can't find the words

The silence it will beat you to the ground

Will eat you up inside

No living sound

Could ever cause you pain as bad as this

The roll of drums

That silence comes

To take your place and fill the empty space

You left to me

The silence it will beat you to the ground

Will eat you up inside

No living sound

Could ever cause you pain as bad as this

The silence it will beat you to the ground

Will eat you up inside

No living sound

Could ever cause you pain as bad as this
