when you sing, i sing back.
when you leave, i lean back.
silence is gold when you're around.
when you change, i don't change
when you talk now it's all strange
silence is gold when you're around
and you can't sing (it's all i want)
and i can't speak (it's all i want)
silence is golden, silence is golden
love takes time and time is money
love takes lots and lots of money
and I can't eat when you're around
new friends come and old ones go
how can I expect to know
that you don't want to stick around?
and you can't sing (it's all i want)
and i can't speak (it's all i want)
silence is golden, silence is golden
when we meet, it's alright
but your eyes don't meet my eyes
i'm paranoid when you're around
when you talk, i talk back
try my hardest to react, but I don't understand at all
and you can't sing (it's all I want)
and i can't speak (it's all I want)
silence is golden, silence is golden
