David Knopfler - Sometimes There Are No Words lyrics

rate me

Sometimes there are no words

To talk about what really hurts

When everybody talks too loud,

No one listens anyhow

Sometimes there are no words

To talk about what really hurts

How the space that came between us,

Now grows greater day to day

I put on my armoured vest

You dress in your party best

The daggered past a desert

We passed through on the way here

Sometimes there are no words

To talk about what really hurts

When you find the one you've hurt the worst

Is the one you need to heal you

Sure I know forgiveness

May be mortal not divine

But all them human frailties

Man they'll stall me every time

All your two faced yes men

Will look the other way when

Half-full or two thirds empty

You turn three sheets to the wind

Tinkers Tailors

Off shore frigging millionaires

so eager to begin

A war of cold attrition

For the ego wants to win

Sometimes there are no words

To talk about what really hurts

We both know something's wrong here

Like we know a sinner sins

But I'm so tired now

I got to get some sleep

Feels like the whole damn world is sliding

And I can't keep my grip

Feels like the whole damn world is crying

And I can't keep the beat
