All the way from America**lf**Holding out your hand.**lf**You pinned your colours to the mast,**lf**Pinned them high up in the sky.**lf**Look what you do to me,**lf**My hands keep thumping waltz in triple time.**lf**She wrote,**lf**All the way from America**lf**Arriving just as planned,**lf**Passing through the blocks and alleyways,**lf**The avenues, I''m crying.**lf**Look what you do to me,**lf**Look what your tender hands have done this time.**lf**And I say,**lf**Don''t take the silence too hard,**lf**Don''t take the silence too hard,**lf**Your absence lasts through every passing year.**lf**Don''t take the silence too hard.**lf**All the way from America**lf**Straining with my eyes**lf**To see the hours stretched out before me**lf**As I cross the ocean line.**lf**Look what you do for me,**lf**My hands are ruby warm and I feel fine.**lf**And I sail**lf**To the home of erotica**lf**Pictured on the stand,**lf**Kneel down and pray you take no burdens**lf**Out of the promised land,**lf**Into the mystery.**lf**Your eyes are full of tales of idle hands.**lf**She says,**lf**Don''t take the silence too hard,**lf**Don''t take the silence too hard,**lf**Your absence lasts through every passing year,**lf**Don''t take the silence too hard.**lf**(solo)**lf**All the way from America**lf**Holding out your hand.**lf**You pinned your colours to the mast,**lf**Pinned them high up in the sky.**lf**Look what you do to me,**lf**My hands keep thumping waltz in triple time.**lf**Don''t take the silence too hard,**lf**Don''t take the silence too hard,**lf**Don''t take the silence too hard,**lf**Don''t take the silence too hard,**lf**Don''t take,**lf**Don''t take,**lf**Don''t take,**lf**Don''t take,**lf**Don''t take the silence too hard.**lf**LyricsFreak
