The Limits of Language

Gesture to me a beat, clean or out of time

The claims of nature have no predetermined design

Willing to look closer, closer and nearer

It could be revealed to you through absurdity

Take off that coat and feel the benefit of the limits of language

A thought of you ran away with itself

Now the spoken work can run us both to sleep

You don't need to reply, to hear a voice in your letters

To read into that a smile

To imagine a million, million miles

Take off that coat and feel the benefit of the limits of language

Oh darling, if only you could feel the benefit of the limits of language

Is it supposed to be carefree?

A certainty, a moment's more

The limits of my world meet the limits of yours

You survived the precarious time

Picking out your clothes, packing up your bags

Sorting out your shoes, and locking up the flat

Take off that coat and feel the benefit of the limits of language

Oh darling, if only you could feel the benefit of the limits of language
