These Are Days

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.
