The Silent Wind Beneath

[Verse] Saw my old prom date, we caught up swiftly, He said, "Meet my parents," I grinned so wistfully, Sat in their parlor, my nerves on a spree, But oh, the silent wind beneath was my decree. [Verse 2] Dinner was fine, I held my stature tight, Smiling as I sampled every bite, Then in that moment, I could foresee, The cat would leave the bag, so gingerly. [Chorus] Oh, the tale of the silent breeze, In the parlor beneath the family trees, Embarrassment flowed like jazz in the night, As I hoped they'd believe it was the dog out of sight. [Verse 3] Father cleared his throat, mother adjusted her pearls, While my date flashed an awkward, twisted curl, They sensed the aroma, but not its source, As I sat prim and proper, avoiding remorse. [Bridge] Eyes met eyes across the room, I tried to disperse the air of doom, In a place where laughter would usually bloom, There lay the mystery, the unspoken gloom. [Chorus] Oh, the tale of the silent breeze, In the parlor beneath the family trees, Embarrassment flowed like jazz in the night, As I hoped they'd believe it was the dog out of sight.
