Silent Man

Original version (3:19)

I can learn to like this
And so could you.
Everyone is different.
Girl will I do?
Seeing is believing,
You can see me anytime.
Come on up and tell me
Loving you is a crime.

Don’t get me wrong,
Don’t misunderstand,
Don’t take this the wrong way.

I keep a diary
It hurts me to read.
Of all my worries
For which there was no need,
All the misconceptions,
Misgivings and miseries.
Show me how to get away,
A little escapology.

Don’t leave me stranded
Up to my neck in sand
With the vultures swaggering around my head.
How much sun can I stand ?
Don’t walk away from me,
Stretch out your hand.
How could you bring yourself to abandon
The silent man ?

Don’t get me wrong,
Don’t misunderstand,
Don’t take this the wrong way.
You know that I’m the silent man.
Don’t get me wrong,
Don’t misunderstand,
Don’t take this the wrong way.
I’m the silent man.
