Nanci Griffith - Talk To Me While I'm Listening lyrics

(Nanci Griffith)

I should have known that you were gone back to Germany

You told me in the dark while I was sleeping

Then you slept through the sunrise

As it washed upon your face

And all that I had heard were our hearts beating

Chorus

Talk to me while I'm listening

While this love has a voice that we both

Can hear

Before you let it go

This greatest love I've ever known

Won't you please

Talk to me

While I'm listening

I cannot find a place to put this love away

Or lose the thought of sunlight on your face

I thought I heard your voice

Say I love you today

But it was only the sound of my heart breaking

Chorus

How I wish that I could take us back to Germany

I would stay awake and you would talk to me

Yet for every drop of rain I hear

There's bound to fall another tear

Upon this page of song of my heart aching

Chorus

Before you let it go

This greatest love I've ever known

Won't you please

Talk to me

While I'm listening

Talk to me

Talk to me
