Graham Parker - Things I've Never Said lyrics

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 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 came from And I understand the way you Lift me when I'm down And where you got your beauty And your name from 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 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 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 If only I had said The things I've never said Things I've never said
