And we sit And we want to say And we don't And if we do It is all wrong For the language Doesn't do justice To the word And the word Doesn't do justice to the thought And the thought Misrepresents the heart And the heart Allows its little lies To hide the soul Who if it had its say Would laugh at anything Less than love.
Irwin R. Shaw - May 11th 1982
And we sit
And we want to say
And we don't
And if we do
It is all wrong
For the language
Doesn't do justice
To the word
And the word
Doesn't do justice to the thought
And the thought
Misrepresents the heart
And the heart
Allows its little lies
To hide the soul
Who if it had its say
Would laugh at anything
Less than love.
