lyrics
Lord knows that words don’t always earn their keep
and lovers pride themselves
that they don’t need to speak
they’re so good at reading
one look is all they need
And I love all the faces that you make at me
the ones you pull on purpose and
the ones you lose to honesty
oh let the sun rise but your smile awakens me
And you know I love your kisses
but I want more from your lipses
So don’t throw your words away
I’ll hang on everything you want to say
Whisper your sweet, sweet nothings
they mean everything, everything
Don’t throw your words away
I know you love me but it’s not the same
It might be easy to say, say it anyway
Don’t throw your words away.
Life rolls down a tight rope of delight and dues
The mouth can say all kinds of things
the hand won’t prove
You mean the world Love, but I don’t have time for you
But often these hypocrisies aren’t understood
A few more zealous lovers
in this world would do some good
Oh if you feel it, go on and let it loose
Love is always clouded but that’s not for being shouted
and lovers pride themselves
that they don’t need to speak
they’re so good at reading
one look is all they need
And I love all the faces that you make at me
the ones you pull on purpose and
the ones you lose to honesty
oh let the sun rise but your smile awakens me
And you know I love your kisses
but I want more from your lipses
So don’t throw your words away
I’ll hang on everything you want to say
Whisper your sweet, sweet nothings
they mean everything, everything
Don’t throw your words away
I know you love me but it’s not the same
It might be easy to say, say it anyway
Don’t throw your words away.
Life rolls down a tight rope of delight and dues
The mouth can say all kinds of things
the hand won’t prove
You mean the world Love, but I don’t have time for you
But often these hypocrisies aren’t understood
A few more zealous lovers
in this world would do some good
Oh if you feel it, go on and let it loose
Love is always clouded but that’s not for being shouted

"Quite apart from that this album is extraordinary on its
own merits there are few artists willing to expose their talents to such a sparse instrumental background, and you need to listen to it and discover its beauty for yourself."
