Silence

(Silence, silence now)

(Silence, silence now)

As you sit and read the paper dozing off you dim the light put your glasses on the table sink into your easy chair

Dream the dream you've always dreamed of

You're a boy so free and wild

In this dream you capture freedom

And you're not your father's child

People cheer and clap their hands

Now you dream that you're a man

Amidst applause and blissful noise

You cannot hear your father's voice

Saying silence, silence, now

Silence, silence, now

As you dream you're in the circus

Ran away from home at ten

Got yourself a painted pony

Somersaults upon his back

This is what you've always wanted

Could this be the proudest land?

Share a laugh with all the carneys

Limelight and adoring fans

People cheer and clap their hands

Now you dream that you're a man

Amidst applause among the noise

You'll never hear your father's voice

Screaming silence, silence now

Silence, silence now

As you sit and read your paper dozing off you dim the light as you wake your dream is over forget it all and say good night

Good night (repeat until fade)
