Janis Ian - When The Silence Falls

What you gonna do when the silence falls
What you gonna do when the silence falls
Dance alone to the radio
All dressed up and no place to go
What you gonna do when the silence falls?
What you gonna do when the silence calls your name
What you gonna do when the silence calls your name
Make your speeches to the wind
Count the votes that might have been
What you gonna do when the silence falls?
See that cloud in the eastern sky
See that cloud in the eastern sky
Brighter than the brightest pearl
Big enough to eat this world
What you gonna do when the well runs dry?
I dreamed the sky was falling
I heard the planets end
I heard the voices calling
"Never again, Never again."
What you gonna do
What you gonna do
What you gonna do when the silence falls
And you can't even hear God call
When the silence falls
