The Word Lyrics

There is a darkness in the sky
As if the end is now at hand
And there’s a sadness in your eyes
I never did quite understand
They say there’s wise men in this world
But even they can’t help us now
If we can salvage what is left
I beg you to please tell me how

You tried so hard to make this work
You tried so hard to make it fly
I didn’t mean to make you hurt
I never meant to make you cry
And after all that we’ve been through
And after all that has occurred
If there is anything I can do
All you need is to say the word
Just say the word

Hear me, why can’t you hear me?

You tried so hard to look away
You tried so hard to heal the sores
I never wanted it this way
But now it’s too close to ignore
Still after all that we’ve been through
And after all that has occurred
If there is anything I can do
All you need is to say the word
Just say the word

But she left and she said-
You never listen to me You still aren’t listening to me
You just don’t hear me

And she said-
You never listen to me
You still aren’t listening to me
Why can’t you hear me?

Why didn’t you just say the word
(Even wise men can’t save us now)
All you needed was to say the word
(I beg you to please tell me how)
I’m just sorry cause I never heard
(Even wise men can’t save us now)
Why didn’t you just say the word
(I beg you to please)
Tell me how

I never did quite understand why
I never did quite understand, I...
I never did quite understand why
I never did quite understand, I...

There is a darkness in the sky
As if the end is now at hand
And there’s a sadness in your eyes
I never did quite understand

But just say the word
Baby just say the word
It’s so quiet
Laugh away, laugh away
It’s so quiet
Laugh away, laugh away
