The Naked World


Say something to break the silence
do something-I need certainty
if there is a chance for you and me
I didn‘t know how to find the words
we‘d only talk at cross-purposes,
‘cause we didn‘t know it better

The most important things
are the hardest things to say
they are the things you feel ashamed of
if there is a chance for you and me
I didn‘t know how to find the words

The spoken word stands naked in the rain
used as a weapon,used to explain
for now and all the time I know one thing surely
there isn‘t always a need for the truth
the spoken word stands naked in the rain,
who brings it back, the unstoppable word?

I wish I could tell you good-night
send you a dream, holding you tight
I miss your heartbeat, pounding in my ear
how to make you believe
thoughts spinning round in my head
now I know, what I‘ve lost

I recall the night, when we first met
you gave me an amorous glance
if there is a chance for you and me, I didn‘t know
how to find these words.
