Dougie MacLean - Silently Sad

Now I've got the silence I wanted
and now I can feel all the little things
I was afraid I might lose
it's a moment so special
but I know that I've got till the morning
to take it anyway that I choose

and I want to be silently sad
I need to be more than alone
when the air's getting bad
and I've needed someone like you
in all the dreams that I've had

I know who you're watching
and you know who he is but I'm not going to tell you
in case you don't understand
and you know that you know him
but you're frightened to say so you turn to the lady
who's holding hard on your hand

CHORUS

- Oh no, it's not me that's holding the crown
- the clearer I'm seeing, the more I believe in that long journey down

A kiss for the morning
a smile for the day that's beginning
a tear for what's not going to stay
and it could have been easy
and it could be so hard but we're not going to cry
because we made it that way

CHORUS
