Do Not Talk - 10 000 Maniacs

Don't talk I will listen

Don't talk you keep your distance

For I'd rather hear some truth tonight

Than entertain your lies

So take you poison silently

Let me be Let me close my eyes

Don't talk I'll believe it

Don't talk listen to me instead

I know that if you think of it

Both long enough and hard

The drink you drown your troubles in

Is the trouble you're in now

Talk talk talk about it

If you talk as if you care

But when your talk is over tilt

That bottle in the air

Tossing back more than your share

Don't talk I can guess it

Don't talk well now your restless

And you need somewhere

To put the blame for how you feel inside

You'll look for a close and easy mark

And you'll see me as fair game

Talk talk talk about it talk as if you care

But when your talk is over tilt

That bottle in the air

Tossing back more than your share

You talk talk talk about it

You talk as if you care

I'm marking every word

And can tell this time for sure

Your talk is the finest I have heard

So don't talk i'll save it

So don't talk

Let me go on dreaming

How your eyes they glow

So fiercely I can tell your inspired by

By the name you don't chose for me

Now what was it

Oh never mind it

We will talk talk talk about this

When your head is clear

I'll discuss this in the morning

But until then you may talk

But I won't hear
