Mark Heard — Language Of Love lyrics

Lyrics

What’s happened to me?
I look into my loved ones' faces
This skeleton key can’t open up
Their secret places
I spend a feverish night deciding what I’ll say
But words are not enough to carry days
All around the world — it’s the same thing
All around the world — it’s the blood in the words
All around the world — same pages
Trying to speak the language of love
Trying to speak the language of love
What’s happened to me
I’m walking in the bones of a mortal
The message is brief but I’m talking
Like there’s no tomorrow
I don’t believe in cinematic confessional scripts
I find the greater verbs blister my lips
All around the world — it’s the same thing
All around the world — it’s the blood in the words
All around the world — same pages
Trying to speak the language of love
Trying to speak the language of love
Up against the tide of unjust years
Sentimental whispers seem to lose their meaning
What’s happened to me
I look into my loved ones' faces
What matters to me
What matters in the four-walled spaces
I beg my flesh and bone to carry all I feel
A whirling wheel that words cannot conceal
All around the world — it’s the same thing
All around the world — it’s the blood in the words
All around the world — same pages
Trying to speak the language of love
Trying to speak the language of love
All around the world — it’s the same thing
All around the world — it’s the blood in the words
All around the world — same pages
Trying to speak the language of love
Trying to speak the language of love
Trying to speak the language of, language, language of love
Yeah
Oh, the language of love
Oh, the language of love
Language of love
Ooohhh
