Language

[Verse 1]

If language were liquid

It would be rushing in

Instead here we are

In a silence more eloquent

Than any word could ever be

[Verse 2]

These words are too solid

They don't move fast enough

To catch the blur in the brain

That flies by and is gone

And is gone

[Chorus]

And is gone, gone

Gone, gone

And is gone

[Bridge]

I'd like to meet you

In a timeless, placeless place

Somewhere out of context

And beyond all consequences

Let's go back to the building (Words are too solid)

On little West Twelfth (They don't move fast enough)

It is not far away and the river is there

And the sun and the spaces (To catch the blur in the brain)

Are all laying low

And we'll sit in the silence (That flies by and is gone)

That comes rushing in

And is gone

[Chorus]

And is gone, gone

Gone, gone

And is gone

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

I won't use words again

They don't mean what I meant

They don't say what I said

It's just the crust of the meaning

With realms underneath

Never touched, never stirred

Never even moved through

[Verse 1]

If language were liquid

It would be rushing in

Instead here we are

In a silence more eloquent

Than any word could ever be

[Chorus]

And is gone, gone

Gone, gone

And is gone

[Outro]

And is gone

And is gone

And is gone

Gone, gone

And is gone

And is gone

Gone
