Whatever You Say, Say Nothing

Way out there in the wilderness
Of love and pain
Under the gentle arches we rode
The silver streets
Couldn`t see a difference between gold or
Wooden cross
Could never see where we`re falling
Came in to love

Then hounded by love
Hounded by the very thing you dreamed up
Chased inside the walls you tried to breach
Sent crashing to your knees
Only tender love
Understood the need you need with
Understood the time it took
To take you where nothing ever was

Never was there once nothing
And everything once was
Not dead but still and ready to be born anew
Looking back now it all
Seems so clear
Like staring so long unseeing for someone to light inside a
Darkened room

Then try your tender love
Push you back till there`s nowhere left
Nowhere to feel nothing anymore
Nothing that will comfort you more
More than tender love
Understands the need you need with
Understand the time it takes to get home and have a love again

More than tender love
Understands the need you need with
Understand the time it takes
To get home and have a love

Then try your tender love
Push it till there`s nothing left
Nowhere to feel nothing anymore
Nothing that will comfort you more

Then hounded by love
Hounded by the very thing you dreamed up
Chased inside the walls you tried to breach
Sent crashing to your knees

Then only tender love
Understood the need you need with
Understood the time it took
To take you where nothing ever was

There was a night
As purple as this
With a love so close
We longed to be missed
Summer `89
And everything stood
Sure and free and there
To be finished

I long to be there
As bright as the sky
At bethlehem`s gate

September again
You come so quick
So sudden your strength
So strong your kiss
The world groans and strains
For the hope of a time
Like a prayer that
Is wished and willed
To exist

Like knocking so hard
And trying to get through
To bethlehem`s gate

I`m chiding the heart
That the body will live
To question the power
And the gift of birth
To stand and grow and die
On the wasteland
That scorns the high temples
We build

And stand in the way
And darken the sky
At bethlehem`s gate

Stand in the way
And darken the sky
At bethlehem`s gate

Little baby don`t just slip away
Without fight or push or
Saying anything
This is all you really
Get to say
And the only thing you
Listen in to

There are people to see
There are places to go
There are things to believe in
To believe in

So you live in the magic water
And you tumble and kick and turn
While your beautiful hands and feet grow
So quiet is the life you beat with
Till you fall so freely down

You can`t just slip or fall or leave without talking
There`s no goodbye without walking
The roads we travel for good
The ways we exit for bad

There are places to go
There are jobs to be done
There are things to believe in
To believe in

So you live in the magic water
And you tumble and kick and turn
While your beautiful hands and feet grow
So quiet is the life you beat with
Till you fall so freely down
Till you fall so freely down

Kick kick down

So you live in the magic water
And you tumble and kick and turn
While your beautiful hands and feet grow
So quiet is the life you beat with
So quiet is the life you beat with
And you tumble and kick and turn

All my worries
All my care
Is held in check
For you not there

Evening comes
And darkness falls
We sit round
And curtain out
The black night

There is a time
Away
From here

Seasons pass
So quickly come
And steal the days
Your work has done

They leave the fields
So bare and grey
I long to hold
You there and say
It won`t change

There is a time
Away
From here
There is a time
Away
From here

Will we be lovers
Or will we still be
Will we be lovers
Or will we still be

Will we be lovers
Or will we still be
Still be still be

All over the world
The wild wild wind
Rips through the mighty words
We kept ourselves warm with
And all over this love
Has never been stronger
All jericho`s walls
They gently fall

I`ve been waiting for a golden
Bright milleniun
Waking early for the union bonds being broken
Then gone

All over the world
All over the world
All over theworld
All over the world

I`ve been searching for a new new
Song of freedom
Where no flag of conquest
Is furled
No war words are spoken

All over the world
All over the world

I,i hear the sound
I,i hear the sound

All over this land
People are waiting
To enter the world
Like a new born baby
All over the world

Where nothing`s been learned
The flags are changing
So let freedom unfurl
New flags need waving
Let freedom unfurl
