Words Fell Lyrics

Lucinda Williams Words Fell

Words fell
Like roses at our feet
When you let me see you cry
Your silent lips against my cheek

Words fell
On a night as black as coal
Your kisses traveled deep
Your eyes pierced to my soul
Words fell

Words fell
In another place and time
We lived within the woods
Ate berries from the vine

Words fell
When we lay among the stones
And watched the druids dance
And walked along the rocky shores
Words fell

Words fell
In another place and time
I knew your mournful blue
Knew your golden grace

Words fell
When we let the ocean hold us
And sank beneath the waves
In the silence of the roses
Words fell, words fell
Words fell
