[ Lyrics ]
D G G D
Never a word, a word so true
D G G C
Passed between us, me and you
D G G D
Heard you found your pot of gold
D G G G
That's the story I've been told
Never a word was said in vain
Some were never sad again
Some were lost in lovers' heat
Some lay fallen at our feet
All day all night
You and only you
All day all night
I think of you and only you
Never a word escaped my lips
Silenced by your fingertips
I kept my word, can you believe
All this time so hard to breathe
Hard to breathe
