Silent Way
Milo Greene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We lie under heavy drapes
Just to mask away
The light from the coming day
When, when, when we're older
When, when, when we're older
Can I still come over?
Hold our naked sheets
Our colored breathes we'll see
Your hair knots on top of me
Oh, how the heart it beats
When, when, when we're older
When, when, when we're older
Can I still come over?
Can I still come over?
Can I still come over?
Can I still come over?
When we're older, can I still come over?
When we're older, can I still come over?
When we're older, can I still come over?
When we're older, can I still come over?
When, when, when we're older
When, when, when we're older
The lyrics of Milo Green's "Silent Way" depict two individuals who are entangled in a clandestine and forbidden romance. The opening lines, "In a silent way, We lie under heavy drapes, Just to mask away, The light from the coming day," indicate that they are trying to conceal their relationship from the world. They are living in secrecy and leading a life of lies to hide their true feelings from everyone.
The chorus, "When, when, when we're older, Can I still come over?" indicates that the singer fears that their relationship may not last forever, and they are doubtful if they will still have a place to go to when they grow old. They are afraid that time will drift them away and separate them, and they will no longer have each other's company ceaselessly. The line "Hold our naked sheets Our colored breathes we'll see" portrays the intimacy and the close bond shared between the two characters.

In a silent way
We lay together quietly
We lie under heavy drapes
We conceal ourselves under the bedding
Just to mask away
In order to hide
The light from the coming day
The brightness of the morning sun
When, when, when we're older
At a future time when we are older
Can I still come over?
May I still visit you?
Hold our naked sheets
Let us embrace each other closely
Our colored breathes we'll see
We can observe our breathing
Your hair knots on top of me
Your hair is entangled with mine
Oh, how the heart it beats
Our hearts race with excitement

I listened to this song for 3 hours in a row on my ipod yesterday and I'm still not done. It gives me peace and puts me to sleep!

A very good friend used this for a memorial to my husband. Very fitting and beautiful. Love this song now. Never heard it before he memorialized him with it.
