Текст песни Indigo Girls - Language Or The Kiss

I don’t know if it was real or in a dream lately waking up i’m
not sure where i’ve been there was a table set for six and five
were there i stood outside and kept my eyes upon that empty chair
and there was steam on the windows from the kitchen laughter
like a language i once spoke with ease but i’m made mute by the
virtue of decision i choose most of your life goes on without
me oh the fear i’ve known that i might reap the praise of strangers
and end up on my own all i’ve sown was a song but maybe i was
wrong i said to you the one gift which i’d adore unwrap a package
of the next 10 years unfolding but you told me if i had my way
i’d be bored right then i knew i loved you best born of your
scolding when we last talked we were lying on our backs looking
up at the sky through the ceiling i used to lie like that alone
out on the driveway trying to read the greek upon the stars the
alphabet of feeling oh i knew back then it was a calling that
said if joy then pain the sound of the voice these years later
is
still the same i am alone in a hotel room tonight i squeeze the
sky out but there’s not a star appears begin my studies with
this paper and this pencil and i’m working through the grammar
of my fears mercy what i won’t give to have the things that mean
the most not to mean the things i miss unforgiving the choice
still is the language or the kiss
