This trail of tears I follow Has led me to your crying eyes You've grown so sad and hollow From a life you've been denied You spoke not a word as a child Not a word has changed ♪ Now the black day speaks So clearly ♪ Hang loosely on the spoke It's plain to see it's not the same A heart so close when broken Black ends the light of day You spoke not a word as a child Not a word has changed ♪ Spoke not a word as a child Not a word has changed His loving arms grew cold And they hold you now as chains ♪ And now the black day speaks So clearly
