The Limits of Language

A gesture to me
A beat clean or out of time
Claims of nature with no predetermined design
Willing to look closer
Closer and nearer
It could be revealed to you
Through absurdity
Take off that coat
And feel the benefit
Of the limits of language
The thought of you
Ran away with itself
Now the spoken word
Can run us both to sleep
You don't need to reply
To hear a voice in your letter
To read it without a smile
To imagine a million million miles
Take off that coat
And feel the benefit
Of the limits of language
Oh darling
If only you could feel
The benefit of
The limits of language
Is it supposed to be carefree?
Uncertainty a moment's pause
The limits of my world meet the limits of yours
You survive the precarious time
Picking out your clothes
Packing up your bags
Sorting out your shoes
And locking up the flat
Take off that coat
And feel the benefit
Of the limits of language
Oh darling
If only you could feel
The benefit of
The limits of language
