Lyrics

Paula cole/patrick leonard

Your eyes they conjure up those cliffs of moher
Far away and not listening anymore
Dreaming of life on another shore
Not here, not now, with me, the bore

So I stop talking and fade to bleak
Feeling insignifi cant, atrophied and weak
Even though it's not who I know myself to be
The queen, the confi dence
Doesn't speak

But I was 14 with my passion
And 15 with my best
16 with my ego
And zero with the rest
My heart is a p.o.w. tangled in my chest
I don't know how to communicate in a cardiac arrest

Your eyes they drown me in your sadness
Your words they bring hurricanes
Braving shakespearean tempest
The mighty tiger
Doesn't blink

(Chorus)

I think I found the one
Silent suffering inside
The one who got away
I was too dangerous to hide

(Chorus)

So I stop talking, baby, cause you always want me to shut up
Take the center stage meanwhile I become your trusted, silent prop
So take good care, this mighty woman's ready to explode
Fire here below the surface of my volcano
