Just Don't Talk About It - Rosanne Cash

I don’t know why you loved me

This is all I know

My heart is torn from my body

My body from my soul

And tears will run like water

Milk and blood will flow

Into silence like a dream

Secret and slow

You may think this means nothing to me

I got my work, and my words, my friends

Well it made me nothing, don’t say a word about it

Just don’t talk about what you don’t understand

Is there a god who looks out for me

Who sees my life on the tracks

Whistle in the distance

My dream’s fading to black

Where is the church of my magic

My neatly ordered plans

What is the song I was singing

Before this begin

The world should stop and bow its head

The winter cry and moan

The star should disconnect and fade

But don’t say a word about it, just don’t talk about it

You may think this means nothing to me

I got my work, my words, my friends

Well it made me nothing but don’t say a word about it

Just don’t talk about what you don’t understand

Just don’t talk about it

Please don’t talk about it

Don’t say a word about it

Just don’t say a word about it

Just don’t talk about it

Please don’t talk about it

Don’t say a word about it

Even when I’m gone
