Words - Ellis Paul

They fall to the page with no sound

And if you let them sit awhile,

Give them time and distance.

She won’t hear the rattle in your voice

That gives a fool away with no choice

Time is all you have tonight

Take the time and get this right

Your eyes make me humble,

I fall down at your feet.

Pick me up if I stumble

Over words I can not speak.

I can’t speak…

And so I’m fighting an empty page

For the words I’ve got to say

The sun brings another day and here I am still reaching

I hear the sound of a morning train

I watch it waking you up again

These things I can’t explain

But here I am still speaking…

Your eyes make me humble,

See, I fall down at your feet.

Pick me up if I stumble

Over words I can not speak.

I just can’t speak…

And you say if you doubted me,

You would take all that was yours and just go

So take what you’ve given me,

If these words don’t voice what a heart just knows…

Your eyes make me humble,

See, I fall down at your feet.

Pick me up if I stumble

Over words I can not speak.

I just can’t speak…

Speak…
