A Request For Silence

Let there be no words until the night is gone For tomorrow will come again Let all tongues sleep until the wake of dawn Night in dreams dissolves the pain Hush all voices until tomorrow, my love I know the day will come Dews shall replace the tears, O my love And truth find its ransome We have nothing to say tonight, my love And nothing to remember too Star lights like snowflakes fall from above O that sorrows fell so too Let no voice be heard until day returns I know the day will come In love's fire the liar, time retired, burns We wait for day to come And keep our silence until tomorrow And my hope of loving you Despite your choice to drink of sorrow While leaves are gathering dew Let no voice be heard tonight, my love I know the day wil come Vindication is an act, a joy from above Reason gone, belief shall come
