Lips Are Silent (Original Version 1982)

Well, I was walking in the cool air

With no straws to touch in sight

When I saw this strange but perfect vision

Right among the shimmering lights

And now them gazing eyes would give me

Send shivers down my spine

I watched her walk through crowded streets

My instinct should tell me follow her in time

Lips are silent, eyes revealing

Although our lips are closed they're not concealing

What we're thinking, what we're feeling

Like when our lips are silent, eyes revealing

Now I've sometimes been a lover

But still I mostly walked alone

But just one look into her eyes

And all those years would fade and then be gone

So I followed her with fervor

Just like a child that seeks its toy

I never thought a total stranger

Could have this sort of effect upon a boy

Lips are silent, eyes revealing

Although our lips are closed they're not concealing

What we're thinking, what we're feeling

When our lips are silent, eyes revealing

Running blind in love's a nice game

You're young, wild and foolish

Thinking all those stupid thoughts

And then all those stupid things

But suddenly I turned a corner

And discovered she was gone

And I knew I'd never find such eyes

And ears that were too kind

Lips are silent, eyes revealing

Although our lips are closed they're not concealing

What we're thinking, what we're feeling

When our lips are silent, eyes revealing

When our lips are silent, eyes revealing

When our lips are silent, eyes revealing
