The Sound of Silent Pain

Do you hear that? That’s the sound of a man Slently in pain Again That’s the sound of a man With nothing left to gain Astray He goes a walkin’ where the sun doesn’t shine He don’t talk ‘bout what he left behind That’s the sound of a man Silently in pain That’s the sound of the train Runnin’ on his pain Again That’s the sound of the train Running away His mouth is shut because a nobody’s listenin’ He goes a drowning in the lakes that don’t glisten He goes a drowning in a drink that don’t glisten But his true drink in his heart is still missin’ Listen That’s the sound of a man Crying out in pain Again That man is bound So very far away That train He’s so gone he’s so long From daylight From some fun or someone In his sight That’s the sight of a man Silently in pain.
