Lyrics Gregg Allman

Gregg Allman

Silence Ain't Golden Anymore

Far too many times we hold things deep inside

Feelings stay hidden while a chance for love slips by

And when it gets too late you ask the reason why

You couldn't say a word, you didn't say one damn word

The sound of your silence was all she heard

She flew away like a speckled bird

You can kiss that train goodbye

And then silence ain't golden anymore

You can't run and you can't hide

From the truth no more

If you love someone you gotta tell 'em about it

Don't think they've heard it all before

And then silence ain't golden anymore

The pain you run away from you never will relieve

You gotta keep on fighting for the things that you believe in

'Cause there's someone out there waiting to be seen

But if you don't say a word, you don't say one damn word

The sound of your silence was all she heard

She'll fly away like a speckled bird

You can kiss that train goodbye

Because silence ain't golden anymore

You can't run and you can't hide

From the truth no more

Sometimes the words from deep in your heart

Are the easiest to ignore

Oh, but silence ain't golden

No, just ain't golden

Silence ain't golden anymore
