Meaning of the Word

Now there's a wind blowin' leaves

Along the empty street

Down by the place on the corner

Where we used to meetTwo people too proud to give

Afraid of what the heart demands

Two of a kind we made up our minds

To live without the ties that bindEach to each, no surrender

Out of reach

Where not one tender sound was heard

Not a cry or a whisperNo farewell, nothing spoken

Silence fell while hearts were broken

No one stirred, was it love?

Did we ever know the meaning of the word?Now there's a moon rising

In the cold and distant skies

And I can feel it shinin'

Down like a lover's eyesDon't know where you are tonight

Or how to tell the things we say

From what we mean

Or why we could never cross the distance in betweenEach to each, no surrender

Out of reach

Where not one tender sound was heard

Not a cry or a whisperNo farewell, nothing spoken

Silence fell while hearts were broken

No one stirred, was it love?

Did we ever know the meaning of the word?Don't know where you are tonight

Or how to tell the things we say

From what we mean

Or why we could never cross the distance in betweenEach to each, no surrender

Out of reach

Where not one tender sound was heard

Not a cry or a whisperNo farewell, nothing spoken

Silence fell while hearts were broken

No one stirred, was it love?

Did we ever know the meaning of the word?Each to each, no surrender

Out of reach

Where not one tender sound was heard

Not a cry or a whisperNo farewell, nothing spoken

Silence fell
