Sad If You Were Silent © words and music by C. Stewart ( Oct. 13, 2014 ) I'd be sad if you were silent Didn't speak your mind Sitting like a clock That I forgot to wind I'd be sad if you were silent Thoughts put on hold I'd be like the miner That couldn't find his gold The tone of your voice and the words you say Were the only light that ever came my way I'd be sad if you were silent Six feet under ground Roses on your headstone Family standing round I'd be sad if you were silent Couldn't speak again Then I'd know my fate would be Death by Gilbeys gin The tone of your voice and the words you say Were the only light that ever came my way
