lyrics

If I'm Silent by Wolf Kier
copyright Wolf Kier 2020 2022

Your husband is a preacher in a town without a soul
And you gave your life to Jesus, so you'll never walk alone
And you meet me every Thursday, from 2 o'clock till 4
And you leave me in a hotel bed that you and I call home...

You wear my mother's crucifix, it rests there on your chest
And your baby who has eyes like mine, suckles on your breast
And I sit there in a thin disguise, in the second pew
While your husband preaches brimstone, and I dream my dreams of you.

If I'm silent - it's for the homeless and the hungry
If I'm silent - it's for the kids you teach on Sunday
If I'm silent - it's for your husband's chosen few
Who gave their lives to Jesus, and put their trust in you.

And the irony is that a sinner like me
should stand and guard this house of cards
And the tragedy is that you and me
must hide our love like common thieves.
Like refugees. Like common thieves.
Like refugees. Like common thieves.

And I sit there in a thin disguise in the second pew
While your husband preaches brimstone and I dream my dreams of you.
If I could climb the pulpit, I'd tell the world the truth
But I made my vow of silence, I promised that to you.

If I'm silent - it's for the homeless and the hungry
If I'm silent - it's for the kids you teach on Sunday
If I'm silent - it's for your husband's chosen few
Who gave thier lives to Jesus, and put their trust in you.
If I'm silent - it's for the homeless and the hungry
If I'm silent - it's for the kids you teach on Sunday
If I'm silent - it's for your husband's chosen few
Who gave their lives to Jesus, and put their trust in you.
