Mandy Morton Silas the Silent Lyrics

Dictator creator of all that we see
Gone with the flowers his lady to see
Silas the silent just sweeps away the leaves
Tidies the borders and cuts back the trees
Silas the man forgotten and dead
Digs another grave and goes wearily to bed

Silas was once a hero in the war
Now old and defenceless his courage no more
Silas keeps a photograph of a lady in his life
Took her to the church and he made her his wife
Winter winds blew cruel
And saddedned their days
The lady grew old
And gently passed away
Silas never spoke not a tear in his eye
Just planted a garden let the years roll by
And Silas never spoke at all
And Silas has gone before
Silas the man forgotten and dead
Now peacefully at rest with the flowers at his head
Silas the silent
