Language Or the Kiss - Indigo Girls[00:00:00]

I don't know if it was real or in a dream[00:00:43]

Lately waking up I'm not sure where I've been[00:00:50]

There was a table set for six and five were there[00:00:57]

I stood outside and kept my eyes upon that empty chair[00:01:04]

And there was steam on the windows from the kitchen[00:01:12]

Laughter like a language I once spoke with ease[00:01:20]

But I'm made mute by the virtue of decision[00:01:26]

And I choose most of your life goes on without me[00:01:34]

Oh the fear I've known[00:01:43]

That I might reap the praise of strangers[00:01:49]

And end up on my own[00:01:53]

All I've sown was a song but maybe I was wrong[00:01:57]

I said to you the one gift which I'd adore[00:02:17]

The package of the next 10 years unfolding[00:02:24]

But you told me if I had my way I'd be bored[00:02:32]

Right then I knew I loved you best born of your scolding[00:02:40]

When we last talked we were lying on our backs[00:02:47]

Looking at the sky through the ceiling[00:02:55]

I used to lie like that alone out on the driveway[00:03:02]

Trying to read the Greek upon the stars[00:03:09]

The alphabet of feeling[00:03:14]

Oh I knew back then[00:03:17]

It was a calling that said if joy then pain[00:03:24]

The sound of the voice these years later[00:03:32]

Is still the same[00:03:38]

I am alone in a hotel room tonight[00:04:15]

I squeeze the sky out but there's not a star appears[00:04:22]

Begin my studies with this paper and this pencil[00:04:30]

And I'm working through the grammar of my fears[00:04:37]

Oh mercy what I won't give[00:04:45]

To have the things that mean the most[00:04:52]

Not to mean the things I miss[00:04:55]

Unforgiving the choice still is[00:04:59]

The language or the kiss[00:05:06]
