Don't speak no more
Cos your eyes do the talking

Say nothing
Cos your eyes do the talking”

“I lie awake at night to wait 'til you come in.
You stay a little while and then you're gone again.
Every question that I ask, I get a lie, lie, lie.
For every lie you tell, you're gonna cry, cry, cry!”

That, being enamoured,
I lost myself; and yet was found.”

That, being enamoured,
I lost myself; and yet was found. ~ 29
