Tonight when I spoke to you
I heard it in your voice |
Tonight when I spoke to you I heard it in your voice You knew you had to let me go You had to make your choice I heard us making small talk Say we’ll leave it for a while And all the while I sat there Like a clown without a smile I knew I should be fighting Battling for the beauty’s hand But I’m selfish and I’m stupid Think that you can’t understand That it’s pride that keeps my tongue still And its pride that says “All’s well” And its pride that’s nodding sagely While inside I go through hell I’m sick now to my stomach While I watch from up above My mouth still making noises While my mind screames “You’re in love!” “You finally have feelings for A woman you desire And you know that her every word Sets your heart on fire!” “Why can’t you open up your mouth And let the words come out I mean, at least be honest Tell her what you want to shout” But I don’t trust myself To tell her the truth about me My inner cynic smirks and says “Hmmm, now let me see…” “Tell her she has brought full colour To a life that once was poor She has filled your world with magic Woodland elf or Minotaur” “Wizard, Orc, Hobgoblin too, Mountain dwarf and Leprechaun Dryad, Nyaid, Goblin, Druid Hobbit, Unicorn and Faun” “Creatures of all kinds of places Find in you a place of peace May your love bring hope eternal May your wonders never cease” Inwardly my blood boils As my mouth betrays my heart I don’t know what I should have said But maybe here’s a start… “Tell her that you need her That she’s like your shooting star That you treasure every moment That you’ve spent with her so far” “Tell her you can see a future Where the two of you can be Ridiculously happy, oh and All of that guilt-free” “Tell her you’ve rediscovered Creative gifts you thought long gone That you love it when she dances When she just bursts into song” “Tell her that she’s smart and cute And try to make her see That it’s her that helped you want To be the man that you can be” “Tell her that the stars have Spelt her name across the night And the wind whispers Jess. While the birds sing it in flight” “Maybe it won’t matter Maybe every chance is dead But you’ll only feel regret For heartfelt words you never said” |
