Chris De Burgh - Wall Of Silence Lyrics lyrics

rate me

Hollywood is such a dream,

And when you're only seventeen, it's wonderful,

A movie man said she could be a star,

A beauty queen, or a cover girl,

She believes and packs up her things,

And the wall of silence begins;

Every night was party night,

She was everyone's delight, he let her stay,

And when he'd had enough, he threw her out,

And she found work in a small cafe,

When she called they put her on hold,

And the wall of silence grows;

Give me a break,

Give me a break,

This is Hollywood,

Open the door,

Open the door,

What am I going to do,

When the money runs out,

And there isn't any doubt,

That I'll have nowhere to go.

Hollywood is just a dream,

But when you're only seventeen, it's magical,

She went home to hide away,

She wore her sadness like a veil, and closed the door,

Till the day she smiles and recalls,

And the wall of silence falls...
