November evening, the warmth of family's in the air,
Dinner's on the table and there's one empty chair,
Oh, they had a fight this morning, he said he's never coming home,
But for her it's almost normal: being married all alone.
That stony fear and hate that words can't articulate,
When walls of silence... (walls of silence)
The walls of silence, (walls of silence)
The walls of silence go up, our lives come down. (walls of silence)
She puts on a brave face, but they can see it in her eyes,
Caught in the middle, they feel twisted up inside,
Oh, they never want to come home; it just reminds them of the pain,
They hope and pray their lives will never end up quite the same.
That stony fear and hate that words can't articulate,
Walls of silence, (walls of silence)
The walls of silence, (walls of silence)
When walls of silence go up our lives come down. (walls of silence)
That stony fear and hate that words can't articulate,
Words can't articulate that stony fear and hate.
The walls of silence... (si-silence)
The walls of silence, (si-silence)
The walls of silence go up, our lives come down. (si-silence)
The walls of silence,
The walls of silence,
The walls of silence go up, our lives come down.
Walls of silence,
Walls of silence,
Walls of silence.
Walls of silence,
Walls of silence,
Walls of silence.
