"Silent Partners" lyrics - WAYLON JENNINGS

He stands in the doorway his hands upon his hips
She stands by the jukebox a sweet smile on her lips
He slowly walks up to her she reaches out for him
It's almost like some magnet is pulling both of them.

He says and she says:

Silent partners they don't say a word
She is the adjective, he is the verb
They speak with their bodies they talk with their eyes
They don't make no promises so they don't tell no lies.
Silent partners, silent partners.

Later in their lovenest at half-past ecstasy
They cling to each other and lie there silently
She would like to tell him what she feels in her heart
He would like to bare his soul but don't know where to start.

He says and she says:

Silent partners they don't say a word
She is the adjective, he is the verb
They speak with their bodies they talk with their eyes
They don't make no promises so they don't tell no lies.
Silent partners.

They speak with their bodies they talk with their eyes
They don't make no promises so they don't tell no lies
Silent partners, silent partners.

He says and she says they say...
