Heavenly

Shallow

Album: This Is Heavenly [1995]

Kissing the stone wall where we once lay

Sends me to thinking of words I'd say 

Missing your sweet lips, still so tongue-tied

 

Love's a word that I could say time and time again 

Love's a thing that takes a thousand words to explain

 

Dragging me over the highest wall 

Holding me tightly for fear I fall 

How could I ever explain in words? 

 

Hurt's a word that I could say time and time again 

Hurt's a thing that takes a thousand words to explain 

 

Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow 

Words come so quickly seem 

Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow 

Still they're true

 

Singing your praises, while you're with her

Foolishly patient for your return

Silent you left me. And silence stays

 

Pain's a word that I could say time and time again

Pain's a thing that takes a thousand words to explain

 

Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow 

Words come so quickly seem 

Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow

Still they're true

 

Won't you wait and see 

Won't you wait and see 

Won't you wait and see 

What I could say, what I should say, what I can say

 

Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow 

Words come so quickly seem 

Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow

Words come so quickly seem 

Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow, Shallow

Still they're true
