He had white steps, she had drank from the poison cup
Hurt as her breathing slowed,
felt as her skin grew cold
Till he knew her time was up
He felt sure she would've smiled
when he had spoken
Silent screams
Her heart was surely broken
And he prayed the dawn would
never talk that day
Swallow wind would
never blow that way
But as you realize the smile
is gone to stay
There's no one listening and nothing left to
say
Deep inside, he began to understand
An d as the truth spilled out,
there could be
no doubt
He could see blood on his hands
He felt sure she would have smiled
when he had spoken
Silent screams,
her heart was surely broken
And he prayed that dawn would
never dark the day
Swallowed wind would never
blow that way
But as he realized,
the smile was gone to stay
There's no one listening and nothing left to say
Oh
I'm
Had he felt that way before
Got the thun der, drowned the rain
Now he knew one thing for sure
He'd never feel that way again
He felt sure she would have smiled
when he had spoken
Silent screams,
her heart was surely broken
And he prayed the dawn would
never darken that day
Swallowed river never
flowed that way
But as he realized the smile
was gone to stay
There's no one listening and nothing
left to say
you
You
