It's a certain thing that I could only ask about
That I could only think to sing
That I could only sing

It's not the words, it's the sound
How we sink our loves deep in the ground and down, down, down and down

Life's an uncertain thing
We could only cast about
I felt that web today
I could feel that ache

It's not the words, it's the sound
How we plant our love deep in the ground and down and all around

And when it's the kind of pain
That disobeys distance
Seems darkness moves faster than the light
What will you find friend? You're such a fine a friend
I've seen how the flowers grow in your light
Oh, what will you find friend? You're such a fine a friend
I've seen how the flowers grow in your light

It's not the words, it's the sound
How we sink our loves deep in the ground and down, down, down and down
