[Lyric] Dont Tell Me The Love Songs (Peter Hammill)

[Verse 1]
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"

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
You don't have to say a word
All too well I understand:
There's a nervous tеnsion
In the touch of your gentle hand
That makеs 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
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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
