Mother

The Earth is a Very Small Dot

Kiss Me

Philadelphia (with Searows)

I have nothing more to say.
Let silence be
.....the order of the day.
I have nothing more to say.
Let silence be
.....the order of the day.

I'm not crossing
another border with you.
I can't afford
to be injured any more.
I'm looking to retire
from the manic fray.
Let silence be
.....the order of the day.
Oh! Silencio!
.....Silencio!
..........Silencio!
Let silence be
.....the order of the day.

Let me sleep.
Let me sleep.
Let me keep
a deep communion
.....with my soul.
Let me sleep.
Let me sleep.
Let me keep
a deep communion
.....with my soul.
Let me find a reunion
to make me whole
.....again.
Let me find a reunion
to make me whole
.....again.

If only I can place
all my bits back together.
I might stand a chance
of weathering tomorrow.
I have tethered myself to
sorrow for far too long.
But the laughter's gone.

The laughter's gone.
.....The laughter's gone.
I've lost
.....my taste for balloons.
I've wasted too much time
.....on selfish buffoons.

The laughter's gone.
.....The laughter's gone.
I've lost
.....my taste for balloons.
I've wasted too much time
.....on selfish buffoons.
Let silence be
.....the order of the day.
Oh! Silencio!
.....Silencio!
..........Silencio!
Let silence be
.....the order of the day.

SILENCIO

Lyrics by Kenton Hall
Music by Kenton Hall, Marion Fleetwood & Chris Ilett


How do you get someone out of your head
If they’ve been drunk or mad enough to share your bed
Is there a book I'm supposed to have read
That explains it all?

Should I stride down the street with a confident gait?
With my heart set to stone and my tongue to berate?
Puffed up with pride and relying on fate
To cushion my fall

Cause I know that I'm just as dumb as a brick
Cause I'm too old to be feeling this dizzy and sick
And I know I might have made a damned fool of myself
But darling you helped

How do you get someone out of your heart
When the ending’s commenced before anything starts
Is there a way we can skip to the part
Where this all makes sense?

Cause I know that I'm just as dumb as a brick
Cause I'm too old to be feeling this dizzy and sick
And I know I might have made a damned fool of myself
But darling you helped

Am I making this harder, than it needs to be?
I could play it much smarter
But that wouldn’t be me.

Oh and I know that I'm just as dumb as a brick
And I'm too old to be feeling this dizzy and sick
And I know I might have made a damned fool of myself
But darling you helped

Oh and I know that I'm just as dumb as a brick
Cause I'm too old to be feeling this dizzy and sick
And I know I might have made a damned fool of myself
But darling you helped
Darling you helped.
