Peace Screams: John Oross

As I lay resting 
trouble follows me around 
as she lay resting 
peace screams; no sound 

She wanted to go dancing, 
drinking and to have fun. 
She was now expecting 
I wanted to save some. 
She wanted her friend 
to move right on in 
a house built on love. 
Let the end now begin. 

As the moments passed 
the further she walked away, 
less did I now see her 
as she danced nights away. 
She now found old feelings 
that drove her his way. 
Yeah we’ll work things out 
as I lay many nights alone 
I didn’t believe her. 
We will work things out. 
She didn’t believe me 
as I walked on out. 
She went back to another. 

Little sister took me in. 
A paper wanting nothing 
from a lawyer’s hand. 
As I lay resting, 
Ya, nights spent alone. 
God has changed things; 
Peace screams no sound.
