lyrics

With Words Unspoken

We met by the river: the sad lady Thames
You were too pretty I thought we'd be friends
But as the skies opened and it thundered above
With words unspoken: we knew love
With words unspoken: we knew love.

I came from lonely, you came from divorced
Both broken hearted with children of course
We couldn’t stop laughing; soaked from above
With words unspoken: we knew love
With words unspoken: we knew love.

Chorus
Sing a song of sixpence, a pocketful of rye
Four & twenty blackbirds baked in a pie
When the pie was opened the birds began to sing
Wasn’t this a dainty dish to set before a king?

We walked by the river: we heard distant bells
We talked of our children and then of ourselves
From different countries but we fit like a glove
With words unspoken: we knew it was love
With words unspoken: we knew love.

Chorus

We kissed in the rainfall, a man stopped & stared
But lost in the moment we just didn’t care
My heart was bursting - when push came to shove
With words unspoken: we knew love
With words unspoken: we knew love.

(Instrumental)

Chorus

We met by the river: the sad lady Thames
Love was that story & that’s how it ends
We’ll be forever with help from above
With words unspoken: we knew love
With words unspoken: we knew love
With words unspoken: we knew love.
