In A Manner Of Speaking

Martin L. Gore

In a manner of speaking


In a manner of speaking I just want to say


That I could never forget the way


You told me everything


By saying nothing


In a manner of speaking I don't understand


How love in silence becomes reprimand


But the may I feel about you is beyond words


Oh give me the words


Give me the words


That tell me nothing


Oh give me the words


Give me the words


That tell me everything





In a manner of speaking Semantiks won't do


In this life that we live we only make do


And the way that we feel might have to be sacrificed





So in a manner of speaking


I just want to say


That like you I should find a way


To tell you everything


By saying nothing


Oh give me the words


Give me the words


That tell me nothing


Oh give me the words


Give me the words


Give me the words


Give me the words


Give me the words
