Hold Your Tongue

Hold your tongue and walk away
Say it's been a lovely day
Say tomorrow evening's fine
Meet me by St. John's divine

Until discordant bells have rung
Hold, hold your tongue

Hold your tongue and walk away
Say it's been a heavenly day
Angels sing a lullaby
Hush now, don't you start to cry

Gilded wing and silver lung
Hold, hold your tongue

I'll say what I want to say and when I want it said
But tonight, love's coming down on me

Hold your tongue until you're gone
All your words might come undone
Say goodnight and walk away
Silent bows begin to sway

Chiming melodies unsung
Hold, hold your tongue

And hold, hold your tongue
And hold, hold your tongue
