Chris De Burgh - Wall Of Silence lyrics

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

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

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

'Til the day she smiles and recalls

And the wall of silence falls
