Lyrics

You Ain't Sayin'

© 2008 putnam/sheridan

V1) Last time we talked, I watched your eyes
You'd answer a question lookin' left n' right
Asked if we'd go to dinner Friday night
You said you felt -- like stayin' inside - V2

V2) You sat in the dark, starin' out the window
Eyes looked far away - I saw up close
Asked what's on your mind n' you said "nothin'"
Well, honey, it surely was somethin' - Ch

Ch) It's all the silent time together
You leave instead of stayin'
Always seemin' to have other plans
It's all the love we're not makin'
Loud n' clear ---- oh, I hear
What you ain't sayin' - V3/Br/Out

V3) You shrug your shoulders -- shake your head
Turnin' away's how conversations end
You pick up the paper - make your escape
But it seems you never turn the page - Ch

Br) Comes across so loud
Like a stadium crowd -- or
Stock cars tearin' up the track
N' it grows like an avalanche
All that's heard
Shoutin' without words - Ch

Coda: --Loud n' clear -- my dear--Can you hear
What I'm sayin'
It's ev'rything that
you ain't sayin'
