She held her smile within a photograph Kept at the bottom of a drawer Captured clearly all in black and white Her and a lover from before She turned the lamp and she sat there still Traced a finger 'cross his face Thought of the snap shirt that he wore that day In some distant time and place Keep your thoughts to yourself and you'll be fine Don't let them see the light of day Tell the people what they want to hear And you'll always have the right thing to say ♪ The table's silent, but the radio plays Over the words that go unsaid She clears the table and she scrapes the plates And sends the children off to bed She runs the faucet till the water gets hot Puts the plug into the drain Thought of the time she packed her bags and went Only to return again Keep your thoughts to yourself and you'll be fine Don't let them see the light of day Tell the people what they want to hear And you'll always have the right thing to say
