[Lyrics for Coffee House Gypsies – The Word]
There is a darkness in the sky
As if the end is now at hand
And theres a sadness in your eyes
I never did quite understand
They say theres wise men in this world
But even they cant help us now
If we can salvage what is left
I beg you to please tell me how
You tried so hard to make this work
You tried so hard to make it fly
I didnt mean to make you hurt
I never meant to make you cry
And after all that weve been through
And after all that has occurred
If there is anything I can do
All you need is to say the word
Just say the word
Hear me, why cant you hear me?
You tried so hard to look away
You tried so hard to heal the sores
I never wanted it this way
But now its too close to ignore
Still after all that weve been through
And after all that has occurred
If there is anything I can do
All you need is to say the word
Just say the word
But she left and she said-
You never listen to me
You still arent listening to me
You just dont hear me
And she said-
You never listen to me
You still arent listening to me
Why cant you hear me?
Why didnt you just say the word
(Even wise men cant save us now)
All you needed was to say the word
(I beg you to please tell me how)
Im just sorry cause I never heard
(Even wise men cant save us now)
Why didnt you just say the word
(I beg you to please)
Tell me how
I never did quite understand why
I never did quite understand, I…
I never did quite understand why
I never did quite understand, I…
There is a darkness in the sky
As if the end is now at hand
And theres a sadness in your eyes
I never did quite understand
But just say the word
Baby just say the word
Its so quiet
Laugh away, laugh away
Its so quiet
Laugh away, laugh away
