You turned me away

Away from your actions

Forced by the violence

That always surrounds you



[chorus]

I want your special smile

A smile in this crowd

I want your special smile

A smile in this crowd



You burnt yourself out

In that silence

I have to tell you

I ache for you still

The sound of my words

Is always so shocking

They get much louder

Each time I speak



[chorus]



Signals of progress

We're growing much older

I'm afraid that I'll leave

And my ache never goes



[chorus
