“An Awkward Silence” I looked at you - you looked at me We sat alone together awkwardly In silence Silence our fathers never knew And our mothers prayed Someday that they could listen to I wondered, what was on your mind? I imagined you thought every thing was fine But did you really? There’d been no conversation And your body language gave no indication Just silence Silence, I could study for a while Not reading between the lines But in the absence of your smile In that silence I felt uncomfortable at first That somehow the best in us Had finally come to worst That now your guess Was just as good as mine If we would find whatever We’re supposed to find In silence The kind that echoes loud & clear You know the one that silent call Dogs can only hear I couldn’t speak for you You couldn’t speak for me And without words at all We couldn’t disagree On politics, on religion On all the things that make the world go round Love relationships and human nature It’s difficult to talk when there’s no sound You suffered me I suffered you It turned out to be the greatest thing That we could do No disturbances No violence Just an afternoon at peace In awkward silence
