David Knopfler - Sometimes There Are No Words lyrics

Sometimes there are no words To talk about what really hurts When everybody talks too loud, No one listens anyhow Sometimes there are no words To talk about what really hurts How the space that came between us, Now grows greater day to day I put on my armoured vest You dress in your party best The daggered past a desert We pa**ed through on the way here Sometimes there are no words To talk about what really hurts When you find the one you've hurt the worst Is the one you need to heal you Sure I know forgiveness May be mortal not divine But all them human frailties Man they'll stall me every time All your two faced yes men Will look the other way when Half-full or two thirds empty You turn three sheets to the wind Tinkers Tailors Off shore frigging millionaires so eager to begin A war of cold attrition For the ego wants to win Sometimes there are no words To talk about what really hurts We both know something's wrong here Like we know a sinner sins But I'm so tired now I got to get some sleep Feels like the whole damn world is sliding And I can't keep my grip Feels like the whole damn world is crying And I can't keep the beat © David Knopfler 2000
