The Days I Didn't Speak Song Lyrics
The Days I Didn't Speak by T-Bone Burnett Another silent morning for another quiet day
Some nights I believe I've said years ago
All I'll ever need to say
And this heavy foot in exile is the time that tip toes away -
Always thought I'd have more words
More nouns, more lies, or more verbs, to say
(Chorus)
But today, no way
I swear I didn't say a word
And today, no way
I swear that I wasn't heard
But the days I didn't speak and the days I didn't eat
They were the days that turned into weeks
I was sitting out on a curb
People walking by feel me
So disturbed -
And no sound, as I stare at the ground
And it's only coming down and when it all goes down
You know just where I'll be found
No sound on the ground
(Chorus)
And all the silent times at the bars
I wish the smokey roof was open
So I could see some stars
Do you feel like a piece of paper in the wind?
Or do you sit still when you try to spin?
Cause they come at anytime...
(Chorus)
Oh these days turned into weeks
You could pull yourself out of your sweater
All the lightning like the fuse
If you only knew it's the lightning you use
