Language of the Heart
(David Wilcox)
We made our warm bed out of blankets
in the meadow way up high
You took off your dress in the moonlight
to sleep beneath the sky,
Your touch was a warm summer ocean,
your kiss made the whole mountain fly
And you looked deep within me
and smiled at the tears in my eyes
cho: Now/And/But you can say that you always were honest
And your words were clear from the start,
But it's more than just word that got spoken
There was language of the heart.
I won't keep on calling your number
if you never have the time.
I don't want to claim you or blame you
but you're always on my mind.
You had no idea I would love you,
it comes as a total surprise;
And you shake your head slowly
and smile at the tears in my eyes.
Your eyes like an ocean, clear sunlit green,
My eyes with the salt water washing me clean again.
Just imagine that you whispered a secret
that could take away my blues,
And you let me believe it, to please me,
though it just wasn't true.
You just meant to share with me pleasure
and you're gifted at what you do
But you're speaking an unspoken language
I thought that you knew
It's the one we all learn by heart
And our hearts think it's true
