it all came back today
Singer:tanita tikaram
he said it like he meant it
but he did not really care
so i sat upon the eve's embraces
i was never really fabled
i was cunning through that habit of mine
y'see all the words were lost
and you can stand upon your own life
say it always seemed to seal
there were smiles upon the picture
but i don't know what to feel
and i told a million stories
and i sat down to risk half
but i never really meant it
'til you came and stole my heart away
you came and stole my heart away
and even if your real thought
hid a thousand words away
and even if you never knew
and mother's saying still raise a frown
and mother's saying still makes you see
what you have lost instead of me
and even if your real thought
hid a thousand words away
and even if you never knew
and even though the starlight falls
and takes your breath away
you still stare up towards the toss
i don't know how to be alone
with some kind fretless friend
and even though the harvest brings
and even if your real thought
hid a thousand words away
and even if you never knew
until the words got tired
