She Sings Without Words

Lyrics

I was thrown on the cobblestones, tossed at her feet
 My fool's mouth was filled with the dust from the street
 An out of work court jester with nowhere to go
 And no need to speak, for she seemed to know
 She sings the songs without words
 Songs that sailors, and blind men, and beggars have heard
 She knows more of love than the poets can say
 And her eyes are for something that won't go away
 This mad mocking town, and its dishonored guest
 Disappeared in the colors that danced on her dress
 She led me to safety in a forest of green
 And showed my stale eyes some sights never seen
 She sings the songs without words
 Songs that sailors, and blind men, and beggars have heard
 She knows more of love than the poets can say
 And her eyes are for something that won't go away
 She spins magic and moonlight in her meadows and streams
 And seeks deep inside me and touches my dreams
 The morning comes smiling and I laugh with no sound
 And snuggle in silence and the sweet peace I've found
 And she sings the songs without words
 Songs that sailors, and blind men, and beggars have heard
 She knows more of love than the poets can say
 And her eyes are for something that won't go away
 No they won't go away
 Go away
