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 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."
