Lyrics
Not a Word
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Not a word
Not a word cos' you know
That a word would give you away
Not a sight
Or a sound 'cos you know
That a sound would give you away
Give you away
I was just curious
I thought that you might
Have something to tell
But it's nothing serious
I found an old letter
In the dust on the shelf
You'll have to speak to me one day
And I wonder what you will say
Just hope that you won't be talking
In vain, in vain
Not a sign have you shown
You are the strangest girl
I have ever known
Not a word in so long
That I starting to think
I've done something wrong
You'll have to speak to me one day
And I wonder what you will say
Just hope that you won't be talking
In vain, in vain
Not a word
Not a word
Not a word
