I don't know why you left me, this is all I know
My heart is torn from my body, my body from my soul
And tears will run like water, milk and blood will flow
Into silence like a dream, secret and slow

You may think this means nothing to me
I got my work and my words and my friends
Well, it may mean nothing, don't say a word about it
Just don't talk about what you don't understand

Is there a God who looks out for me?
Who sees my life on the tracks?
A whistle in the distance
My dreams fading to black

And where is the church of my magic?
My neatly ordered plans?
What is the song I was singing
Before this began?

The world should stop and bow its head
The wind should cry and moan
The stars should disconnect and fade
But don't say a word about it, just don't talk about it

You may think this means nothing to me
I got my work and my words and my friends
Well, it may mean nothing, don't say a word about it
Just don't talk about what you don't understand
Just don't talk about it
Please don't talk about it
Don't say a word about it
Just don't say a word about it
Just don't talk about it
Please don't talk about it
Don't say a word about
Even when I'm gone
