Tanya Tucker - Silence Is King lyrics

She tests every word like a fine wine She holds every thought like her last dime You can hear a pin drop from miles away You can hear a heart stop as plain as day We live in a land where silence is king Whispers have all disappeared Cry for an echo, you won't hear a thing Silence is king around here Silence is king around here Where are the dreams we were after Where is the joy and the laughter Were they only habits we were doomed to lose Or is destiny not ours to choose We live in a land where silence is king Whispers have all disappeared Cry for an echo, you won't hear a thing Silence is king around here Silence is king around here Desperate measures come from desperate times I don't regret what I have done If my actions made you speak your mind Angry words are better than none We live in a land where silence is king Whispers have all disappeared Cry for an echo, you won't hear a thing Silence is king around here Silence is king around here Silence is king around here
