Don't Tell Me Songtext
von 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"

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
