A Silent Cause

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I heard that you're movin' away Fumbled in my pockets for a final word And I tell you, "Don't be late" Smile when you tell me you won't Shuffle your feet and you don't Want to read between the air of silence Then the rain begins [Chorus] I don't want to love you I want to learn you But I'd love to know you well [Verse 2] So long to your family home I wonder if you'll ever get that feeling back Your family home Covered my eyes with your hands Walked me through all of your plans I told you I could see it all But all I saw was you Through the space in your fingers [Chorus] I don't want to love you I want to learn you But I'd love to know you well [Verse 3] You say all the people you know All are slowly dying from a silent cause From their quiet desperations I walk you home in the rain Pass by the yellow line train Thought that I was different when you looked at me But this quiet desperation is killin' me too It's killin' me too [Chorus] I don't want to love you I want to learn you But I'd love to know you well
