We’ve seen a lifetime since we met
Through good and bad
And things we won’t forget
Forgotten promises and broken vows
But we always made it through somehow
But the key to you is broken in the lock
And a simple band of gold is all we’ve got
It’s in the things that I can’t say
That tear us both apart
But if you keep listening
You’ll hear inside
My heart of hearts
Darling
The simple things are hard to say
And darling
The words get in the way
The poet sees the world through rhymes
But only says so much
See darling
Darling
The words are in my touch
The meanings in my touch
Yeah
And maybe there’s something I should say
To make everything that’s wrong okay
A simple phrase, a sonnet from a play
But a man can only say so much these days
And we’re drifting to the deep end of the lake
Trying to make good on our past mistakes
Yeah
And I know you’re tired
But heavens here and now
I’ve got no explanation, baby
Words are worthless to me now
Darling
The simple things are hard to say
And darling
The words get in the way
The poet sees the world through rhymes
And only says so much
Darling
Darling
The words are in my touch
The meanings in my touch
Yeah
In my touch
Darling
The words are in my touch
Darling
Darling
Darling
Darling

(John Waite / Shane Fontayne)
