Silence written by Alejandro Escovedo and Guillermo Rios Cello Intro written and performed by Brian Standefer I've seen so many years unfold The stories that I could've told But all my life it seemed so clear My language isn't spoken here Instead I kept it all inside How many tears can one man hide? And left you with a life to mold From stories that I could've told I'm just a man who's had it tough But maybe I'm not man enough To say the words to make it clear The space between is all you hear The things my father wouldn't say Silence is the price we pay But what would I say If I was with you now? To help you find your way could I still show you how?
