You sign to me in semaphore
You talk to me in Greek
You leave me hidden messages
But I cannot hear you speak
The words they dance before you
Like mummers in a play
Your mouth it makes to open
But I cannot hear you say
“I love you”
You sign to me in semaphore
You talk to me in Greek
You leave me hidden messages
But I cannot hear you speak
The words they dance before you
Like mummers in a play
Your mouth it makes to open
But I cannot hear you say
“I love you”
You tell me that you love me
You tell me that it’s true
You tell me you’ll be here tomorrow
But I don’t know what to do
Cos I don’t know the reason for your loving
The reason for your lies
The reason for your confidence
The reason for your cries
I look beyond the emptiness that I feel inside
I look for something bigger on the greener side
But all the while I struggle
With this warring tide
And the words you spoke in anger
You hoped that I would die
So tell me darling, tell me
What is it that you see?
What is it that you’re hoping for?
What do you see in me?
Because you don’t tell me
