It was Tuesday afternoon,
|
I got home from work quite soon,
|
I turned on the tv and,
|
What did I see?
|
I saw World War Three,
|
Staring back at me,
|
I thought I might wake up to reality,
|
There wasn¡¯t gonna be,
|
Yeah,
|
And all I could see was,
|
This horrific tragedy.
|
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
No mobile phones ring,
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
You cannot hear a thing,
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
The smiles are washed away,
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
There¡¯s nothing left to say.
|
|
And New York, New York,
|
So good they named you twice,
|
The city that never sleeps,
|
Do you believe your eyes?
|
And by this act of war,
|
Big apple is eaten to the core,
|
And two tall towers,
|
Crumble to the floor,
|
And Manhattan isn¡¯t there,
|
It¡¯s there no more!
|
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
No mobile phones ring,
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
You cannot hear a thing,
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
The smiles are washed away,
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
There¡¯s nothing left to say.
|
|
And hardened New York cops,
|
With tears in their eyes,
|
Tired & worn out fire-fighters,
|
Hoping to hear cries,
|
And emergency & medics,
|
Overcome by exhaustion,
|
And all rescue workers,
|
Filled with deep emotion.
|
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
No mobile phones ring,
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
You cannot hear a thing,
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
The smiles are washed away,
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
There¡¯s nothing left to say.
|
|
The eleventh of September,
|
Two thousand & one,
|
The world trade centre,
|
And the U.S. Pentagon,
|
These pictures that we see,
|
Almost defies belief,
|
On the streets of New York City,
|
People are hit by sheer grief.
|
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
No mobile phones ring,
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
You cannot hear a thing,
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
The smiles are washed away,
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
There¡¯s nothing left to say.
|
|
The New York City skyline,
|
We all admired before,
|
The tall twin towers,
|
Simply are there no more.
|
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
In the Silence Of The City,
|
In the Silence.
