Keep your clever lines Hold your easy rhymes Silence everything Silence always wins It's a perfect alibi There's no need to analyze It will be all right Through the longest night Just silence everything But we could live by the foot of the mountain We could clear us a yard in the back Build a home by the foot of the mountain We could stay there and never come back Learn from my mistake Leave what others take Speak when spoken to And do what others do Silence always wins So silence everything It will be all right In the morning light Just silence everything But we could live by the foot of the mountain We could clear us a yard in the back Build a home by the foot of the mountain We could stay there and never come back We could stay there and never come back You know it We could leave tonight But we could live by the foot of the mountain We could make us a white picket fence Build a home by the foot of the mountain We could stay there and see how it ends Yes, we could stay there and see how it ends We could stay there and see how it ends
