Language — текст песни (Suzanne Vega)

If language were liquid

It would be rushing in

Instead here we are

In a silence more eloquent

Than any word could ever be



Words are too solid

They dont move fast enough

To catch the blur in the brain

That flies by and is gone

Gone

Gone

Gone



Id like to meet you

In a timeless

Placeless place

Somewhere out of context

And beyond all consequences



Lets go back to the building

(words are too solid)

On little west twelfth

It is not far away

(they dont move fast enough)

And the river is there

And the sun and the spaces

Are all laying low

(to catch the blur in the brain)

And well sit in the silence

(that flies by and is)

That comes rushing in and is

Gone (gone)



I wont use words again

They dont mean what I meant

They dont say what I said

Theyre just the crust of the meaning

With realms underneath

Never touched

Never stirred

Never even moved through



If language were liquid

It would be rushing in

Instead here we are

In a silence more eloquent

Than any word could ever be



And its gone

Gone

Gone

And its gone
