You and I spoke in confidence About the turning of the years We both told stories that could break a heart We brushed aside our tears You spoke of one desire I turned away to go You spoke to me of solitude Did you really know Can you believe the words of love? You and I spoke of tenderness In a world filled with rage We spoke at length of our uncertainty And tomorrow's headline page Seven hills to the city Another space, another time
We were deep in conversation In a vacant state of mind Can you believe the words of love? A second in a lifetime A time for letting go A painting in the manner Of Michelangelo You and I spoke of innocence There are victims of this crime We both believed in our sincerity I am taken back in time The calling of the ocean The movement of the sand I could see my dreams forever Running slowly through my hand Can you believe the words of love?
