A Word Becomes a Sound

Again, again

I'm frightened by the thought of you

Again, again

But then you go away and by that I'm frightened too

Again, again

A word only a sound if you misuse it

Again, again

And I'll be made a clown if I abuse it

Get so blue when I'm next to you

Oh, what it is I've done that I don't understand?

With the guessin' I'm through

I've been wrong before, I don't mind

I don't think about it so much anymore

I do, I do, I do

I don't, I don't, I don't

A word only a sound if you let it

Things become only their name so instead it

Takes its new life you never meant to give it wings that way

Watch it take flight and then land in another day

Get so blue when I'm next to you

Oh, what it is I've done that I don't understand?

With the guessin' I'm through

I've been wrong before, I don't mind

I don't think about it so much anymore

I do, I do, I do

I don't, I don't, I don't
