Touch Lyrics - John Waite

We've seen a lifetime since we met 

Through good and bad 

And things we won't forget 

Forgotten promises and broken vows 

But we always made it through somehow 

But the key to you is broken in the lock 

And a simple band of gold is all we've got 

It's in the things that I can't say 

That tear us both apart 

But if you keep listening 

You'll hear inside my heart of hearts 

Darling, the simple things are hard to say 

And darling the words get in the way 

The poet sees the world through rhymes 

But only says so much 

See darling, the words are in my touch 

the meaning's in my touch 

And maybe there's something I should say 

To make everything that's wrong Ok 

A simple phrase, a sonnet from a play 

But a man can only say so much these days 

And we're drifting to the deep end of the lake 

Trying to make good on our past mistakes 

And I know you're tired 

But heaven's here and now 

I've got no explanation 

Words are worthless to me now 

Darling... etc
