Kirsty Maccoll - He Never Mentioned Love lyrics

(kirsty maccoll/jem finer) I couldn't hear him when he called to me I couldn't hear him at all you see He was down the road away from me How could i know his answer? I couldn't hear him 'though he shouted hard I couldn't hear him in my own backyard The trains were rattling by above He never mentioned love He may have held my hand When we were walking down the street He talked about all kinds of things But none of them were him and me He looked into my eyes Just as an airplane roared above Said something about football But he never mentioned love I never heard him all the times he yelled I never heard him if he tried to tell me If my memory serves me well He never mentioned love I never hurt him 'though he says i did I never hurt him but i die a bit Each time he pa**es on the street He never mentions love I used to call him every night And pray that he was home I couldn't bear the feeling I might have to live my life alone But now my phone is off the hook The word came from above It told me i was wasting time If he never mentioned love I never heard him if he said he cared I never heard him, i kept my claws bared I never heard the things he says he said He never mentioned he was scared I never heard him when he asked of love I never heard him as the skies above Chucked buckets on the both of us He never mentioned love So if i seem hardhearted I would like the court to note He never mentioned love to me In anything he wrote And if i seem coldblooded I should like to tell the judge In all the time i knew this man He never spoke of love (or if he did) I never heard him when he called to me I never heard him at all you see He was down the line away from me He never mentioned l.u.v. I never hurt him 'though he says i did I never hurt him i just die a bit Each time we meet upon the street We never mention love
