My Experience Lyrics - Hammill Peter

It was nothing, it came from nowhere at all, it was a casual remark, 

not a curtain-call. 

Late for breakfast - black coffee, brandy-laced... 

that look on your face. 

I'll remember last night; I'll look out for the signs; 

You were caught in the light 

Ref. 

time after time 

it's been my experience that when the row gets serious 

a certain silence will fall... 

But I just can't stop it, why don't you tell me what's wrong? 

My heart goes like a rocket, the feeling's so strong. 

I just can't stop it, why don't 

you tell me what's wrong? 

Don't think about it too long. 

I could argue this another way, but on another day I might have to shout. 

You keep your mouth shut, but it's too late for that now: 

the word got out. 

In translation it's lost, in desperation it's mimed; 

is this Paradise lost, or Paradise time after time? 

Ref.
