The only words I’ve ever known
Cradled in my arms as I close my eyes to
The only words I’ve ever known
Emitting from the sound of
Silence and I hear the voice
I have long since longed to hear.
The only words I’ve ever known,
and I’ve been loved for the first time,
Over and over again
Even if it should’ve happened
In the dead of a December winter
When you left me thirty some years ago
Without a last kiss.
Nostalgia for something that doesn’t exist.
The only words I’ve ever known
and you’re back where I want you to be
never apart and never away
But I know you are nothing but another
Yesterday.
The only words I’ve ever known
You should’ve been there when
I let you down.
Too many times has never happened.
The only words I’ll ever know
And nobody will love me like your voice does.
Nobody, not even you.
