Communication

Maybe he'll touch me, maybe he won't

Maybe he's just turning over

Feeling the words drying up in my throat

Maybe he's sleeping, maybe he's not

Maybe I whisper I love you

Maybe the whisper is all that I've got

Could this be heaven, could this be hell

Lying asleep with a stranger

The stranger's the man that I once knew so well

Lying in darkness, lying so still

Why do we lie to each other?

Pretending the things will work out until ...

Chorus:

Communication lets us down

It just went over and out

Communication gets us down

It just went over and over and over and ...

Once there was loving, then there was love

Two people wrapped in each other

Now separate shadows on the ceiling - no more

Then there was screaming, yelling and fights - over and over and over

Now the silence in this silent night .... aaawh

Chorus

Now won't you listen please

Oh, don't pretend that you're asleep

It seems like such an empty bed

It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over ...

Communication lets us down

It just went over and out

Communication gets us down

It just went over and out

Repeat Chorus twice

Communication
