Tip of My Tongue — текст песни (John Hiatt)

An empty house

Is the only thing standin

Between our lives

And the speed of sound



Some words flew out

And made a crash landin

No love survived

Not a trace could be found



Chorus:

I broke your heart

With the back of my mind

From the tip of my tongue

To the end of the line



I walked away

And you stood there tremblin

Like a leaf

In the autumn chill



Now this house wont say, no

What Im still rememberin

Three angry words

And a love that they killed



Chorus



Bridge:

You couldnt say how much it hurt you

And I couldnt see the damage Id done

til I watched the greatest love Ive known

All come down to a slip of the tongue



Well Id take it back

But time wont let me

No, time just takes

You further away



I watched you pack

A house full of memories

Where did you go

Lord, what did I say?



Chorus
