Baby take my hand and I'll take you higher
'Cause my one desire is you and I need you now
More than ever if it takes forever and I know
These things are things you've heard

But up till now they were only words
Dancing on the lips of intimate strangers
Shallow like the city, now they're vivid like the sun
Blinding me with spirit
In the night my private soul can hear it
Common as the hummingbirds
But they were only words

Now I feel like a wise old man
I now understand all the hows, the whens, the whys
These thoughts are mine for the very first time
Love it springs, it blooms, eternal and true
It may sound like nothing new to you only words
Dancing on the lips of intimate strangers
Shallow like the city, now they're vivid like the sun

Blinding me with spirit
In the night my private soul can hear it
Common as the hummingbirds
But they were only words

Here's hoping that we'll never break the silence
Here's hoping that we never run from ourselves
Here's hoping can't and never, not now
And gee it's time to go are words we'll never know
Dancing on the lips of intimate strangers
Oh, yeah, now they're vivid like the sun

Blinding me with spirit
In the night my private soul can hear it
Common as the hummingbirds
But they were only words

Dancin' on the lips of intimate strangers
Shallow like the city, now they're vivid like the sun
Blinding me with spirit
In the night my private soul can hear it
Common as the hummingbirds, only words

Blinding me with spirit
In the night my private soul can hear it
Common as the hummingbirds
But they were only words
