Charms in limited supply And refusing to stretch That indefinable nothing Somehow keeps pushing you
Finding the right words Can be a problem How many times must it be said There's no plan It had to happen
Got to move on sometime And it's about time By putting one foot in front of another And repeating the process Cross over the street You're free to change your mind Strength through diversity Couldn't have put it more plainly
Got to move on sometime
Charms in limited supply Under threat of extinction That indefinable nothing Somehow motivates you
In a manner of speaking I just want to say That I could never forget the way You told me everything By saying nothing In a manner of speaking I don't understand How love in silence becomes reprimand But the way I feel about you Is beyond words
Oh, give me the words Give me the words That tell me nothing Oh,give me the words Give me the words That tell me everything
In a manner of speaking Semantics won't do In this life that we live We only make do And the way that we feel Might have to be sacrifice So in a manner of speaking I just want to say That like you I should find a way To tell you everything By saying nothing
You turned me away Away from your actions Forced by the violence That always surrounds you
I want your special smile Smile in the crowd
You burnt yourself out In that silence I have to tell you I ache for you still The sound of my words Is always so shocking They get much louder Each time I speak Signals of progress We're growing much older I'm afraid that I'll leave My ache never goes
So tired,so soon What happened to you What happened to you You got lost Somewhere between There and here Somewhere between So far,so near You got lost Somewhere between What happened to you
Someone has been removed What happened to her What happened to her She got lost Somewhere between There and here Somewhere between So far,so near She got lost Somewhere between What happened to her
You used to be so young You used to be so young It was going to take so long It had almost gone
When she's on her best behaviour Don't be tempted by her favours Never turn your back on mother Earth
Towns are hurled from A to B By hands that looked so smooth to me Never turn your back on mother Earth
Grasp at straws that don't want grasping Gaze at clouds that come down crashing Never turn your back on mother Earth
Three days and two nights away from my friends Amen to anything that brings a quick return To my friends,to my friends Never turn your back on mother Earth
I'll admit I was unfaithful But from now on I'll be more faithful Never turn your back on mother Earth
