New Words

New words, old meanings New words, old feelings That slip through the net That make their home in the nape of you neck New words Always complaining said the clothesline to the raining Said the ashtray to the pain of letting go Don’t you know [CHORUS] The bravest move as you waltz round the room As you let me know the mood is right It’s hard to tell where the wishing well stops And the concrete begins The heat of the evening burned a hole through the ceiling Now we’re under stars that we cannot name And I see your smile as you turn and say “I’ve heard those words but never spoke them But I feel safe here, But I feel safe” “I’ve heard those words but never spoke them But I feel safe here, But I feel safe with you” [CHORUS] I’ve heard those words, but never spoke them That I feel safe, That I feel safe, With you
