Tonight I Have No Words For You lyrics

Tonight I have no words for you
Made a promise to say so much
Oh I can only steal from you
What already belongs to us
I would like to sing a firestorm
And not some rich and soothing well
Well all such lines are forbidden now
And it's you I cannot touch

Well you know that it ain't true
I don't care 'bout me and you
See the sky is so deep
And I dare not go to sleep

I would like to come unmasked for you
I wanna come without a lie
It was this voice and pen I used
To make myself a man
Now if you could try and reach inside
And tear apart this sad cocoon
Oh I will again be that moon for you
And we too will be like sand

Well you know that it ain't true
I don't care 'bout me and you
See the sky is so deep
And I dare not, dare not, well go to sleep you know

You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains
You know it won't come on
You know the government's coming along
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains, checkers and chains
Well alright

Now I ain't being cold
You know it's only that just now
Seems obvious the hands that fell
Are the hands that will soon knock down
Well tonight I see the skyline
As the skyline lights a mountain range
Tomorrow night it just might have changed
The other way around

Well you know that it ain't true
I don't care 'bout me and you
See the sky is so deep
And I dare not, dare not, well go to sleep you know

You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains
You know it won't come on
You know the government's coming along
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains, checkers and chains
Well you know

You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains
You know it won't come on
You know it won't come on, come on
You know it just might change
You don't wear these checkers and chains, checkers and chains
Well alright
