Mandolin Orange - Not a word lyrics

This trail of tears I follow Has led me to your cryin' eyes You've grown so sad and hollow From a life you've been denied You spoke not a word as a child Well not a word has changed And now the black day speaks so clearly Hang loosely on the spoken It's plain to see it's not the same A heart so close when broken Blackens the light of day You spoke not a word as a child Well not a word has changed You spoke not a word as a child Well not a word has changed His loving arms grew cold And they hold you now as chains
