Silence Is Golden - Forro In The Dark

I left my house just after midnight

To get a breath of cooler air

I left the place in utter chaos

As I was the only one there

Was a relief to leave that prison

Who knows how long its been

Thank God I don’t have television

To suck me in

I saw a charismatic stranger

Outside this noisy street cafe

He greeted me with nonchalant

As if there was nothing to say

I took his cue and remained silent

So neither of us spoke

And the other people’s laughter

Was a cloud of secret snot

Loud is a turd

Silence is golden, talk is cheap

Loud is a turd

Still waters aren’t always deep

In our silent understanding

I knew just how to entertain

But the stranger was demanding

And it came out harder to maintain

So I suggested my apartment

For a change of scenery

And we left that noisy street cafe

Just the stranger and me

As we strolled to complete darkness

I held the stranger’s hand

And not a word was uttered

'cause we both did understand

And the music of the city noise

Accompanied the walk

And the buzz of electricity

Was much better than small talk

Loud is a turd

Silence is golden, talk is cheap

Loud is a turd

Still waters aren’t always deep

So to get in my apartment

I had to move some things aside

Yet in the darkened corridor

The atmosphere was soft and light

And when I find and lit the candle

There was a change of attitude

And then the stranger stunned composure

Started striking me as rude

He said «Good Lord, I am disgusted

How can you live in such a mess»

And from his accent I detected

He was from the Middle West

And then the magic had been broken

It all has halted with a hiss

The silent stranger story is to show

How golden silence is

Loud is a turd

Silence is golden, talk is cheap

Loud is a turd

Still waters aren’t always deep
