Ruth Moody - We Can Only Listen Lyrics

Nothing's working for me today
Maybe I'll go for a walk in the rain
I'm soaking wet but my heart's on fire
I can't show it but I'm all desire

Fox in throat, hand in sleeve
We try and ask for what we need

Getting lost in all the one way streets
Keep on walking until we meet
I never know just what to say
I only remember when you walk away

Word in hand and rubber lips
We let it fall from our fingertips

We cannot choose the ones we love
When our hearts they speak so loudly
We can only listen
We can only listen

Would it be easier beneath the sun
Where apples fall and rivers run
And I'd be lying there next to you
In the silence it all comes through

And then we wouldn't have to speak
All you'd hear is my heart-beat

We cannot choose the ones we love
When our hearts they speak so loudly
We can only listen
We can only listen
