Indigo Girls Lyrics
Language Or The Kiss
I don't know if it was real or in a dream lately waking up i'm not sure
where i've been there was a table set for six and five were there i
stood
outside and kept my eyes upon that empty chair and there was steam on
the
windows from the kitchen laughter like a language i once spoke with
ease but
i'm made mute by the virtue of decision i choose most of your life goes
on
without me oh the fear i've known that i might reap the praise of
strangers
and end up on my own all i've sown was a song but maybe i was wrong i
said
to you the one gift which i'd adore unwrap a package of the next 10
years
unfolding but you told me if i had my way i'd be bored right then i
knew i
loved you best born of your scolding when we last talked we were lying
on
our backs looking up at the sky through the ceiling i used to lie like
that
alone out on the driveway trying to read the greek upon the stars the
alphabet of feeling oh i knew back then it was a calling that said if
joy
then pain the sound of the voice these years later is
still the same i am alone in a hotel room tonight i squeeze the sky out
but
there's not a star appears begin my studies with this paper and this
pencil
and i'm working through the grammar of my fears mercy what i won't give
to
have the things that mean the most not to mean the things i miss
unforgiving
the choice still is the language or the kiss
