There is a village in a land far away where nobody talks and all words are saved for books and for scrolls and lovers' sweet letters. They all agree silently: this way is better. Oh yes, they have music, -the wonderful kind! That spreads like a fire from mind to mind And poetry written but never read out For the words within are stronger than without. And love's in silence and beautifully true, Lips need no movement to say 'I adore you'. Voices are never to disturb or to pester For in the Land of the Mute, the talking man is jester. Eyes do the talking, and truthfully so as lies are not possible so close to a soul. There is a village in a land far away, if I ever go there, there's a chance I'll stay.

In the Land of the Mute
There is a village in a land far away where nobody talks and all words are saved for books and for scrolls and lovers' sweet letters. They all agree silently: this way is better. Oh yes, they have music, -the wonderful kind! That spreads like a fire from mind to mind And poetry written but never read out For the words within are stronger than without. And love's in silence and beautifully true, Lips need no movement to say 'I adore you'. Voices are never to disturb or to pester For in the Land of the Mute, the talking man is jester. Eyes do the talking, and truthfully so as lies are not possible so close to a soul. There is a village in a land far away, if I ever go there, there's a chance I'll stay.
Sorry for any spelling mistakes, it's been written on my phone..
