If you refuse to tell me why

You found it hard to sleep last night

I'll just read between the lines

If I'm wrong or if I'm right

If you'd open up your heart

Or if you don't

I'll continue to walk the murder mile



Well you would tell me on the phone

That your day was fine and well

But you'd be back home late

Would I speculate or wait?

Wondering what is on your mind

That I don't know

I'll continue to walk the murder mile



Oh, sirens of silence

Oh, sirens of silence

Oh, sirens of silence



I saw the suitcase on the bed

In the room that we once shared

Are our secrets left to die?

It's not as though I thought you'd stay

But I kind of wished you'd want to hold me tight

But you leave me to walk the murder mile



Last night I cried myself to sleep

Remembering everyone who said to me, don't get too deep

But to me you were the man

With the strength to take me through the murder mile

Now you leave me to walk alone



Unless you talk I'm left unwise

I go to read between the lines

I speculate your every move

Two and two make five you know,

I'm well behind



Oh, sirens of silence

Oh, sirens of silence

Oh, sirens of silence

Now you leave me to walk alone
