Lyrics

Don?t Talk to Her Today
Words and Music © 2005 Henry E. Harris III


I watch you sleep and I see your pain
My God it must run so damn deep
I?m just a man, can?t even begin to understand
From a distance I can share ? but I can?t help you with the crosses that you bear

Chorus:
You call me your rock, oh we?re in trouble baby
If that?s all that you got
It?s gonna take a miracle to pull you from the edge
I?ll be there to catch you ? that much I can pledge

(Bridge)

We buried our unknown child today
The sky was blue, but our hearts were overcast and grey
Surrounded by well wishers and their benign intentions
Weightless cliché?s and promises of life?s little resurrections

You will be strong, you will carry on
Clueless intentions - why do people waste words that way
Let her take shelter in the silence; strength from my arms
If I can?t think of anything to say ? then don?t you talk to her today

I deflect the phone calls, collect the cards and the flowers
Awkwardly hold you through your darkest and most desperate hours
You will be strong, you will carry on
We will rise above, we will rediscover love

Chorus:
You call me your rock, oh we?re in trouble baby
If that?s all that you got
It?s gonna take a miracle to pull you from the edge
I?ll be there to catch you ? that much I can pledge

You will be strong, you will carry on
Meaningless intentions - why do people waste words that way
Let her take shelter from the silence; strength from my arms
If I can?t think of anything to say ? then don?t you talk to her today

No, don?t you talk ? don?t you talk to her today
