Artist picture
Singer/Songwriter in the tradition of classic country artists. A little humor and a whole lot of heart.
I've been writing songs since 1974. Over the past few years, I've participated in open mic's whenever possible and have become active in the Nashville Songwriters Association International ("NSAI").

Story behind the song
I wrote this song just about a year before my wife and I divorced. I bet some of you will recognize the emotions ...
Lyrics
Thinking I should call you from the job To see just how your day has been But the hours seem to fly away And hey, two more orders just came in I know I should be busy But I just can't keep our problems off my mind And the silence between us Is getting louder all the time I thought that you were going to ask me Yesterday as we prepared for bed What it is I'm going through But you just turned your back to me instead As you lay there sleeping I thought back to when our love was in its prime And the silence between us Is getting louder all the time Surely something should be said Before there's something said that can't be taken back Is it something that I've done? I wonder ... is it something that I lack? I can't help but think Letting our love sink would be a crime And the silence between us Is getting louder all the time I step into our home at night And find the tension waiting for me there The little ones are glad to see me home Unknown is whether you still care The status of our love sits unattended Quiet as a mime And the silence between us Is getting louder all the time The silence between us Is getting louder all the time copyright John Tolley All Rights Reserved
