Only Words

Have you heard what they say
Everywhere, every day,
No, tell me more, something new, don’t delay
How the news goes round like a fire through the town
They said to me there would be misery.
No peace to be found
When she heard what they say, she would send her away
Far, far away, if she heard what they say
Time will tell, time will show, will she stay, will she go
You can’t deny, though we all know her well
You never can tell
Words can turn any way, any time, any day
Words, only words, never mean what they say
Words can burn, words can blind like a fire in your mind,
You never know where they go, how they change as they fly away
never say, never say they’re only words.
