Lyrics

You'll Be My Words

Nothin's comin' and it scares me
One thing I could always count on were words
My motor's runnin', my wheels are spinnin'
But what can I say that needs to be heard?

What am I gonna do
When I can't find the truth
When I run out of all I need to say
What am I gonna do
I guess I'll run to you
You'll be my words my truth and my way
Guiding me without delay
When I simply don't know what to say

You'll be my words
You'll be my words
But we don't need anything but love they say
You'll be my words
You'll be my words
For when we need words to say
What's written in our hearts anyway

When I was younger it seemed so simple
I wrote my thoughts in black and white
But I have learned that my words have colors
Running far beyond our sight

What am I gonna do
When I can't find the truth
When I run out of all I need to say
What am I gonna do
I guess I'll run to you
You'll be my words my truth and my way
Guiding me without delay
When I simply don't know
what to say

You'll be my words
You'll be my words
But we don't need anything but love they say
You'll be my words
You'll be my words
For when we need words to say
Love's written in our hearts anyway

Sometimes it's what's unsaid
That carries truth and beauty
Why then am I so afraid
That without words I'll be empty?

What am I gonna do
When I can't find the truth
When I run out of all I need to say
What am I gonna do
I guess I'll run to you
You'll be my words my truth and my way

You'll be my words
You'll be my words
But we don't need anything but love they say
You'll be my words
You'll be my words
You'll be my words
You'll be my words
You'll be my words
