Close your eyes...I know what you're thinking.
We wondered how long this thing could last.
You'll think of me sometimes...
I'll spend the day. How the time flies by...
Just you and me,
ÔCause three can get a little crowded.
But don't you make a sound...
Words will only tear the dreams.
So don't say another word around me...
Don't you make a sound.
Leave me the memories...
I believe the dreams we've never found.
Don't you say another word.
Don't you say another word.
Don't you say another word.

Tonight. Tonight.
Sleep my love...a soldier takes
First light. First light...
And I must walk away.
So don't you say another word around me...
Don't you make a sound...
Don't say another word around me...
Don't you make a sound...

They said "We don't want to lose you,
But we think you ought to go.
We don't want to see you leave,
But there's something we've been told.
So when your faith in man is all but broken...
When your eyes are finally open...
When the singers feel the taste of death upon their lips,
Will you think we were both deaf and blind?
Will the singing of the songs remind
The men who give their lives away
Of the things they left behind?"

Tonight. Tonight.
Sleep my love...a soldier takes
First light. First light...
And I must walk away.
So don't you say another word around me...
Don't you make a sound.
Stop the singing at the station...
Tear the banners down.
Stop the cheering on the streets...
Take the flags and band away.
Let a man who holds a heavy heart
Just turn and walk away.

It's just a little odyssey...
A slight disruption of my time.
I'll be back before you know I'm gone.
