"Silent Movie" lyrics - MARC COHN

Never told nobody what you wanted
Never even raised your voice
Such a quiet woman in a house of noise
Sometimes I wonder if the quiet is everything it seems
How the story would have ended if you let it out in screams...
Just let it out in screams

But I know, you were silent movie
You said your silent goodbyes
I know, you were silent movie
There's no use in wondering why

If I could freeze a frame and listen more
It would all be in your eyes
Like a silent movie

There's a star somewhere in heaven shining down on me
I can feel it in the darkness when I'm lost at sea
All the answers to the questions in a stream of light
All the forgiveness of a lifetime in the sky tonight...

Says I know, you were silent movie
You said your silent goodbyes
I know, you were silent movie
There's no use in wondering why

If I could freeze a frame and listen more
It would all be in your eyes
Like a silent movie...
Like a silent movie...
