Words Lyrics

Patty Griffin Words

Words won't come, and be the magic we need
If it was only as easy, as something you say or read
If only I felt I had the time to spare anymore
Or the strength to give, hours to live, looking for words

I do remember, days of nothing beyond
All the things we were feeling, and the earth that we walked upon
Now that the earth has frozen beneath our souls
And is no longer breathing, only the wind is whispering words

Well I've seen with my eyes, and I've heard with my ears
And I knew in my heart over all of those years
Of the love that we've now gone and left far behind
And the love I fear we might not ever find

And the words won't come and be the magic we need
If it was only as easy as something you say or read
If only I felt I had the time to spare anymore
Or the blood to bleed, patience I need looking for words
strength to give, hours to live looking for words
