The Language of Love

from Lavender Moonshine by Tret Fure

/

lyrics

A strained touch
We held back so much
That awkward stare
So hard to bear
We were so uneasy in the language of love
The language of love

We labored for years
Choked by our fears
Stiffly we held back
We just didn’t have the knack
We were so uneasy in the language of love
The language of love

Chorus
How is it that some have no fear at all
Not afraid of flying, not afraid of the fall
Feeling only love and light and laughter
That is what my heart is truly after

How would things have stacked
If we were loose and laid back
No self-conscious days
Just comfortable ways
We were so uneasy in the language of love
The language of love

Chorus

Bridge
Movie screens, love sick dreams
How that would it be for you and me
Letting go of all we know and finding a new way home

We were so uneasy in the language of love
The language of love
