Waylon Jennings - Silent Partners LYRICS

Verse 1:

E

He stands in the doorway,his hands upon his hips



She stands by the jukebox,a sweet smile on her lips



He slowly walks up to her,she reaches out for him



It's almost like some magnet is pulling both of them

B

Then he says...

A

And she says...





Chorus:

E

Silent partners,they don't say a word



She is the adjective and he is the verb

A

They speak with their bodies and they talk with their eyes

BA

They don't make no promises so they don't tell no lies

E

Silent partners



Silent partners





Verse 2:

E

Later in their love-nest at half-past ecstasy



They cling to each other and lie there silently



She would like to tell him what she feels in her heart



And he would like to bare his soul



But don't know where to start

B

So he says...

A

And she says...





Chorus.





Chorus (last half of it).
