The Words

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Found what I'm not looking for A melody as sweet and pure As any one sung by the birds I'm trying to find the words See them perched all in a row I prefer the window closed I don't like to be disturbed Trying to find the words [Chorus] Meanwhile the birds sing Meanwhile the church bells ring Meanwhile the children laughing [Verse 2] Underneath the canopy When you gave your hand to me And you took my hand in yours Trying to find the words Did you know you'd share your bed With these voices in my head? Did you know I'd toss and turn? Trying to find the words [Bridge] And when you told mе you would take me Both in sickness and in hеalth Did you already know for better or for worse That you would hold my body close And find my mind was somewhere else? Sometimes my mind is somewhere Trying to find the words [Chorus] Meanwhile the birds sing Meanwhile the church bells ring Meanwhile the children laughing [Verse 3] Penny for a child's thoughts Can you tell me what it costs? Can you tell me what it's worth? Trying to find the words Never mind you run and play Who needs pennies anyway? Outside it's a sunny day [Chorus] Meanwhile the birds sing Meanwhile the church bells ring Meanwhile the children laughing [Outro] Meanwhile the birds Meanwhile the church Meanwhile the laughter
