Wirral songwriter completes George Harrison Beatles song 40 years on

George Harrison

Silence (is its own reply)

I'm happy to say that it's  only a dream
When I come across  people like you,
It's only a dream  and  you make it obscene
With the things that you  think and you do.
You're so unaware of  the pain  that I bear
And jealous for what  you can't do.
There's times when I  feel that you haven't a  hope
But  I also know that  isn't true.
Every time I ask you  why
Silence is its own reply

It’s so hard to prove  what I can do
Compared to someone  like you
You make it look easy  but you still tease me
When you have got  nothing better to do
When the tears are  falling and its dawning
The truth will ring out  so clear
That no-one’s above  you and nobody can love  you
Until all that pain  disappears

Every time I ask you  why
Silence is its own reply

By the time we have  talked it over
It’s time to say goodbye
