Don’t Tell Me - Peter Hammill

You don't have to say a thing
The silence is sweet
We've been together today
In a way we might never repeat
Oh your head on the pillow
The distance in your eyes
Already you might be
Rehearsing the word ''goodbye
I don't want to rehearsing
When the evening comes of this perfect day
When the shadows run will you look away
Will you slip away
Don't tell me anything
You don't have to say a word
All too well I understand
There's a nervous tension
In the touch of your gentle hand
That makes me afraid
I've seen you like this before
The moment you find somebody new
You find yourself bored
Oh I don't want to lose you
When the evening comes of this perfect day
When the shadows run will you look away
Will you slip away
Don't tell me anything
Now the evening's come
Now I'm left alone
Now the passion's done
And you're going home
Oh when will you telephone
You don't tell me anything
No you don't even tell me
The bell won't ring
