The way you looked at me when you said my name
How long you lingered by the open flame
But when you looked away like it's all the same
Doubt joins the game
And it's so hard to tame
I want to learn your language
Take my lessons every day
I want to learn your language
Understand the words that you don't say
I want to learn your language
Search your eyes to find a clue
Find out what I mean to you
Glowing windows and the open door
The heat that rises from the molten core
The light that shines at times from the opposite shore
I long for more
Like the working poor
I want to learn your language
Take my lessons every day
I want to learn your language
Understand the words that you don't say
I want to learn your language
Search your eyes to find a clue
Find out what I mean to you
It's like emotional Braille
As I feel my way around the dark
As my vision has failed
Till I find your hand and feel the spark
A quiet moment in the midnight air
Understanding in a glance we share
Separation like a heartfelt dare
In the mystery's glare
There's heart laid bare
I want to learn your language
Take my lessons every day
I want to learn your language
Understand the words that you don't say
I want to learn your language
Search your eyes to find a clue
Find out what I mean to you
