They're Only Words

(앨범: Under The Sign Of Cain - 1994)

They're only words
Are they written in the wind?
Before you're out of reach
Will they all get blown away?

They're only words
Whispers softly in the dark
Did we both believe
They could stand the light of day?

They're only words
I can't hold them in my arms
As the echoes call
I can feel them slip away
With every grain of sand
That washes out to sea
I count them one by one
I count the cost of love
The words are all I have
Until the tide has turned
To bring you back to me

If all the stars that shine on me shine on you
If all the natural desire is breaking through
We're told the promises of love are just a summer long
They say they're only words
They could be wrong

They're only words
Cast on the water as it flows
Though it seems so clear
We can all be swept away
With every grain of sand
That washes out to sea
I count them one by one
I count the cost of love
The words are all I have
Until the tide has turned
To bring you back to me

If all the stars that shine on me shine on you
If all the natural desire is breaking through
We're told the promises of love are just a summer long
They say they're only words
They could be wrong
