Janis Ian When The Silence Falls
What'cha gonna do when the silence falls?
What'cha gonna do when the silence falls?
Dance alone to the radio,
All dressed up and no place to go?
What'cha gonna do when the silence falls?
What'cha gonna do when the silence calls your name?
What'cha gonna do when the silence calls your name?
Make your speeches to the wind,
Count the votes that might have been?
What'cha 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'cha 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'cha gonna do?
What'cha gonna do-hoo?
You can’t even hear God call,
When the silence falls.
