The lamp isn't shining And the calendars are lying And if you've been dying to tell me something Just say it. Sounds are deceptive But the silence's more frightneing When at the height of a party a wineglass Slips from a hand In a black office A live round's waiting in the chamber It's so quite that I hear, deep down, A subway train rolling Troops are on the square It's dark at the end of the line And after all these years the phone is giving Just a busy signal A door will slam somewhere And the wires will tremble Hello! We'll be happy now And forever Hello! We'll be happy now And forever
