The Light Of Day Lyrics

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
