Without a Word

Trying to back off, trying to lay low
Giving you time to read the stars
Trying to wait for
Something you don’t know
To show you where you are
Where you are
Where you are
Where you are
It’s been so long now
I know I should forget you
But I ought to let it lie
But I’m bound to wonder all about you
No matter how I try
There you are
There you are
There you are
First a knock and then a crash
And a staggering conviction
That I might not catch up
Like all the colors running down a portrait
And now it looks nothing the one I fell in love with
I thought I could write you, write down on a story
When all the clear lines blurred
I still want you to show up
Hope you’ll just roll through
After all these years without a word
Without a word
Without a word
Without a word
