Baby take my hand and I'll take you higher
|
'Cause my one desire is you and I need you now
|
More than ever if it takes forever and I know
|
These things are things you've heard
|
But up 'til now they were only words
|
|
CHORUS:
|
Dancing on the lips of intimate strangers
|
Shallow like the city, now they're vivid like the sun
|
Blinding me with spirit
|
In the night my private soul can hear it
|
Common as the hummingbirds
|
But they were only words
|
|
Now I feel like a wise old man
|
I now understand all the hows, the whens, the whys
|
These thoughts are mine for the very first time
|
Love it springs, it blooms, eternal and true
|
It may sound like nothing new to you
|
|
Only words
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
BRIDGE:
|
Here's hoping that we'll never break the silence
|
Here's hoping that we never run from ourselves
|
Here's hoping "can't" and "never", "not now"
|
And "gee it's time to go" are words we'll never know
|
|
CHORUS:
|
Dancing on the lips of intimate strangers
|
Oh Yeah! Now they're vivid like the sun
|
Blinding me with spirit
|
In the night my private soul can hear it
|
Common as the hummingbirds
|
But they were only words
|
|
CHORUS:
|
Dancin' on the lips of intimate strangers
|
Shallow like the city, now they're vivid like the sun
|
Blinding me with spirit
|
In the night my private soul can hear it
|
Common as the hummingbirds
|
Only words
|
|
Blinding me with spirit
|
In the night my private soul can hear it
|
Common as the hummingbirds
|
But they were only words
|
