Don't Talk
Otter Anne Sofie von Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can hear so much in your sighs
And I can see so much in your eyes
There are words we both could say
But don't talk, put your head on my shoulder

Come close, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, take my hand and let me hear your heart beat
Being here with you feels so right
We could live forever tonight
Lets not think about tomorrow
And don't talk put your head on my shoulder

Come close, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, take my hand and listen to my heart beat
Listen, listen, listen.

Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Don't talk, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder




Don't talk, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder

I saw her in 2011 at the Sydney Opera house - yes, that one - but she wasn't singing this type of music.
