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.
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.
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.
They were only words.
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.
They where only words.
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.
Dancing on the lips of - intimate strangers.
Shallow like the city,
Now they're vivid like the sun.
