You turned me away
Away from your actions
Forced by the violence

That always surrounds you

I want your special smile

A smile in this crowd
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd


You burnt yourself out
In that silence

I have to tell you
I ache for you still
The sound of my words

Is always so shocking
They get much louder
Each time I speak


I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd

I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd


Signals of progress
We’re growing much older
I’m afraid that I’ll leave

And my ache never goes

I want your special smile

A smile in this crowd
I want your special smile
A smile in this crowd
