Supertramp – Words Unspoken 0

from "Supertramp" (p)1970

Why sing a lonely song
The whole world knows that love goes wrong
Why bruise a heart that isn't broken
It isn't broken. It can be broken

Life's just a show for free
Come along and watch with me
The only sins are words unspoken
Words unspoken, never spoken

Sweet things come and go
Give me shame, I'll give you woe
To live for love isn't so easy
It isn't easy, it won't be easy

How all good men try
Look around and wonder why
Can they shape this world to please me
Can they please me, should they please me

And follow, and maybe you'll correct me
Or wish you'd never met me
For I am no gentle man
And follow and while you watch and wonder
I'll pull the world asunder
And show you who I am

Send me a gentle dream
Of love so strange it's never seen
And prove how such a love can happen
It can happen, make it happen

Fine things don't abound
Fade away without a sound
But hope must never end or slacken
Never slacken, never slacken

And follow and maybe you'll correct me
Or wish you'd never met me
I am no gentle man
And follow and while you watch and wonder
I'll pull the world asunder
And show you who I am
