No Word of a Lie - Kitchinparti

Love's a bad student Love's a bad student Love's a bad student Spend some years In the shadow of the lie I learned how to walk I learned how to fly Now there's someone in the system You raise my name Yesterday's freedom is tomorrow's shame Love is good teacher For lessons in pain But love's a bad student Love's a bad student Love's a bad student... I failed again... Again and again... If you disagree There was a guy Sweet, baby, sweet, he was So I gave it a try Love is good teacher For lessons in sky But love is bad student, Love is bad student, Love is bad student...

Fire on the ocean Reprisal in motion From the quiet awake The sins of the father Are hitting me harder Every strike I take Oh! Oh! The silence is deafening... Oh! Oh! Don't say a word The venom inside us Strives to deny us Just a moment's peace From ocean to land we Are learning to stand on Our own two feet Not to be heard Don't say a word Restrain... Cut out the phrase Only a haze Remains... Oh! Oh! The silence is deafening... Oh! Oh! Don't say a word These syllables slither Like snakes in the sand... These words they will wither The world in your hands You are the voice in the song yeah It's yours when you sing along... Oh! Oh! The silence is deafening... Oh! Oh! Don't say a word You are the voice in the song, yeah It's yours when you sing along...

(George Jones - Dick Overbey) I lead a rich rewarding life, a wife, a home, a car But generally you can find me down in some dim lit bar I hold all the pleasures of the world, this fact I can't deny But I'm living, yes, I'm living in the shadow of a lie. My wife's first husband and myself were on a fishin' trip He was in our rowboat, me on shore, when I saw my partner slip A hellish thing took hold of me and I delayed my rescue dash Still I knew my lover husband had finally breathed his last. I took his body back to town and restrained a happy smile When they said there'd be a hearin', wouldn't even be a trial That a fine upstanding citizen like me could do no wrong And the walls between me and my love would finally soon be gone. Now just when my world glows brightest and warm thoughts run through my head A chilling darkness hovers like a demon over head And sometimes the guilt inside me reigns so strong I hope to die For I'm living, is it living, in the shadow of a lie...
