Silence Is Golden Lyrics

when you sing, i sing back. when you leave, i lean back. silence is gold when you're around. when you change, i don't change. when you talk now it's all strange. silence is gold when you're around. and you can't sing (it's all i want). and i can't speak (it's all i want). silence is golden. love takes time and time is money. love takes lots and lots of money. and i can't eat when you're around. new friends come and old ones go. how can i expect to know that you don't want to stick around? and you can't sing (it's all i want). and i can't speak (it's all i want). silence is golden. when we meet, it's alright. but your eyes don't meet my eyes. i'm paranoid when you're around. when you talk, i talk back. try my hardest to react, but i don't understand at all. and you can't sing (it's all i want). and i can't speak (it's all i want). silence is golden.
