Nothing
going ‘round
But
the sound of the silence
Like
a carousel, it spins my life
But
nothing new came today
Nothing
creaked or oiled my weakness
Talkin’
on the street
The
word is of fortune
Like
a cookie breaks into the evening
But
all the songs
Of
prophecy
Never
change the world we see
Nothing
going ‘round
But
the sound of the silence
In
the café’s and the bars on the scene
Where
the coke is flat
And
the milk smells sour
A
spark of life to be desired
"The Songwriters Café in Birmingham was regularly attracting great talent and huge audiences every Sunday in the late 90s. I needed a new song to justify performing yet again, The Sound of the Silence was written on a Tuesday and a slot booked to perform on Wednesday."
