Tonight I Have No Words For You

Tonight I have no words for you

Made a promise to say so much

Oh I can only steal from you

What already belongs to us

I would like to sing a firestorm

And not some rich and soothing well

Well all such lines are forbidden now

And it's you I cannot touch

Well you know that it ain't true

I don't care 'bout me and you

See the sky is so deep

And I dare not go to sleep

I would like to come unmasked for you

I want to come without a lie

It was this voice and pen I used

To make myself a man

Now if you could try and reach inside

And tear apart this sad cocoon

Oh I will again be that moon for you

And we too will be like sand

Well you know that it ain't true

I don't care 'bout me and you

See the sky is so deep

And I dare not, dare not, well go to sleep you know

You know it just might change

You don't wear these checkers and chains

You know it won't come on

You know the government's coming along

You know it just might change

You don't wear these checkers and chains, checkers and chains

Well alright

Now I ain't being cold

You know it's only that just now

Seems obvious the hands that fell

Are the hands that will soon knock down

Well tonight I see the skyline

As the skyline lights a mountain range

Tomorrow night it just might have changed

The other way around

Well you know that it ain't true

I don't care 'bout me and you

See the sky is so deep

And I dare not, dare not, well go to sleep you know

You know it just might change

You don't wear these checkers and chains

You know it won't come on

You know the government's coming along

You know it just might change

You don't wear these checkers and chains, checkers and chains

Well you know

You know it just might change

You don't wear these checkers and chains

You know it won't come on

You know it won't come on, come on

You know it just might change

You don't wear these checkers and chains, checkers and chains

Well alright
