We Can Only Listen

Nothing's working for me today Maybe I'll go for a walk in the rain I'm soaking wet but my heart's on fire I can't show it but I'm all desire Fox in throat, hand in sleeve We try and ask for what we need Getting lost in all the one way streets Keep on walking until we meet I never know just what to say I only remember when you walk away Word in hand and rubber lips We let it fall from our fingertips We cannot choose the ones we love When our hearts they speak so loudly Would it be easier beneath the sun Where apples fall and rivers run And I'd be lying there next to you In the silence it all comes through And then we wouldn't have to speak All you'd hear is my heart-beat We cannot choose the ones we love When our hearts they speak so loudly
