The silent man came to me today
Said he had a lot to say
Said he would only speak to me
He needed to speak urgently
He already knew my name
Knew what I was going to say
Said that we are the same
He’s got to tell me all he knows
Said he knew every pole
But didn’t know, which way to go
He would make me feel so free
He said that they had mentioned me
He said,
“Don’t listen to a word they say.
Stick with me and you’ll be okay”
Said they wouldn’t understand,
With a raised voice from the Silent Man
Now I see him everywhere
Both of us in despair
Said he couldn’t trust me now
I must do
What he will choose
For the Silent Man.
