If I could bring the sky
A little closer to the ground
And make the world turn round
A little slower
If I could prize the lid off of
This weight that holds me down
And understand her heart
And really know her
Chorus:
And if our love were cold and dead
I'd curse my empty head
If only I could say
The things I've never said
I know your face is pretty
And I know your eyes are brown
And I know what town
You come from
And I understand the way you
Lift me when I'm down
And where you get your beauty
And your name from
Chorus
Why do I keep on yearnin'
Even though you're in my bed
Why is so much left undone
And so much left unsaid
The moon is getting weaker
As it drifts across the sky
The autumn leaves just die
Where they have fallen
Chorus
Chorus
If only I had said the things I've never said
