《Language Or the Kiss(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Language Or the Kiss - Indigo Girls

[00:00:43] I don't know if it was real or in a dream

[00:00:50] Lately waking up I'm not sure where I've been

[00:00:57] There was a table set for six and five were there

[00:01:04] I stood outside and kept my eyes upon that empty chair

[00:01:12] And there was steam on the windows from the kitchen

[00:01:20] Laughter like a language I once spoke with ease

[00:01:26] But I'm made mute by the virtue of decision

[00:01:34] And I choose most of your life goes on without me

[00:01:43] Oh the fear I've known

[00:01:49] That I might reap the praise of strangers

[00:01:53] And end up on my own

[00:01:57] All I've sown was a song but maybe I was wrong

[00:02:17] I said to you the one gift which I'd adore

[00:02:24] The package of the next 10 years unfolding

[00:02:32] But you told me if I had my way I'd be bored

[00:02:40] Right then I knew I loved you best born of your scolding

[00:02:47] When we last talked we were lying on our backs

[00:02:55] Looking at the sky through the ceiling

[00:03:02] I used to lie like that alone out on the driveway

[00:03:09] Trying to read the Greek upon the stars

[00:03:14] The alphabet of feeling

[00:03:17] Oh I knew back then

[00:03:24] It was a calling that said if joy then pain

[00:03:32] The sound of the voice these years later

[00:03:38] Is still the same

[00:04:15] I am alone in a hotel room tonight

[00:04:22] I squeeze the sky out but there's not a star appears

[00:04:30] Begin my studies with this paper and this pencil

[00:04:37] And I'm working through the grammar of my fears

[00:04:45] Oh mercy what I won't give

[00:04:52] To have the things that mean the most

[00:04:55] Not to mean the things I miss

[00:04:59] Unforgiving the choice still is

[00:05:06] The language or the kiss
