Only Words

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
