Speak Soft

Jerry had some beers and started to sing
 he knows just what he means he don't mean a thing
 he waited for the wisdom years would bring, to him
 on theigerator door
 are the words he had written moments before
 it says 'i hope i never have to go to war'
 Speak soft, baby don't you talk to me,
 To me, to me, to me
 He goes to the dance and falls in love
 years later it's still her he's thinking of
 she never spoke once or even looked up, enough
 Speak soft, baby don't you talk to me,
 To me, to me, to me
 Houdini closed himself inside of a box
 he didn't have a trick to spring the lock
 off the stage the people watched, the clock
 prison could be a nice place to live
 the bars on the window like bars on a crib
 freedom is the least desired gift, to give
 Speak soft, baby don't you talk to me,
 To me, to me, to me
 Jerry had some beers and started to weep
 it's time to turn away, it's his time to sleep
 don't trouble yourself with seeking peace, go cheap
