In A Manner Of Speaking

In a manner of speaking

I just want to say

That I could never forget the way

You told me everything

By saying nothing

In a manner of speaking

I don't understand

How love in silence becomes reprimand

But the way that I feel about you

Is beyond words

O give me the words

Give me the words

That tell me nothing

O give me the words

Give me the words

That tell me everything

In a manner of speaking

Semantics won't do

In this life that we live, we only make do

And the way that we feel

Might have to be sacrified

So in a manner of speaking

I just want to say

That just like you I should find a way

To tell you everything

By saying nothing.

O give me the words

Give me the words

That tell me nothing

O give me the words

Give me the words

Give me the words
