Silence - Martin Sexton

(Silence, silence now)
(Silence, silence now)

As you sit and read the paper dozing off you dim the light put your glasses on the table sink into your easy chair
Dream the dream you've always dreamed of 
You're a boy so free and wild 
In this dream you capture freedom 
And you're not your father's child 
People cheer and clap their hands 
Now you dream that you're a man 
Amidst applause and blissful noise
You cannot hear your father's voice
Saying silence, silence, now
Silence, silence, now
As you dream you're in the circus 
Ran away from home at ten
Got yourself a painted pony 
Somersaults upon his back
This is what you've always wanted 
Could this be the proudest land?
Share a laugh with all the carneys
Limelight and adoring fans
People cheer and clap their hands
Now you dream that you're a man 
Amidst applause among the noise 
You'll never hear your father's voice 
Screaming silence, silence now 
Silence, silence now

As you sit and read your paper dozing off you dim the light as you wake your dream is over forget it all and say good night 
Good night (repeat until fade)
