A quavering breath a pause in a word
A shadow that suddenly covered my eyes
A ripple of water quite smooth otherwise
You try to go back and pave over the hole
Where an intake of breath had punctured my soul
Let me know let me know I need to know
A moment of silence it now seems absurd
That I learned so much from a pause in a word
Every bird on the wing leads the others along
Inside your flock of words something went wrong
I don't think that I was expecting a lie
I just saw them pass me and one couldn't fly
Let me go let me go I need to go
A change in your voice was all that I heard A quavering breath a pause in a word A shadow that suddenly covered my eyes A ripple of water quite smooth otherwise You try to go back and pave over the hole Where an intake of breath had punctured my soul Let me know let me know I need to know A moment of silence it now seems absurd That I learned so much from a pause in a word Every bird on the wing leads the others along Inside your flock of words something went wrong I don't think that I was expecting a lie I just saw them pass me and one couldn't fly Let me go let me go I need to go Explain Request ×
