the day drags like a dead thing
so the night is for mending
baby i hold your hand
not everybody understands us
there is a tongue that we speak in
no-one else got the meaning
but baby i have
not everybody understands us
sometimes my heart hurts to watch you
there's a blind spot that i can but get to
sometimes you seem like a lost cause
breathe a second feel that pregnant pause
speak to me in our tongue
when all the other words only come out wrong
speak to me in our tongue
a pillow talk patois from a land long gone
sometimes my heart hurts to watch you
there's a blind spot that i can't get to
sometimes you seem like a lost cause
breathe a second feel that pregnant pause
