lyrics

don’t say a word
don’t sing a thing to me
speak with your heart
and knock me off my feet
‘cause I feel five years old
when you read me your riddles
and the world takes its toll

but life and love is free
and I’ll bet you think I sound naive
but this is what I need to sleep

I can see you
groovin’ up the ladder of success, girl
ooh it must be cool up
in the lap of luxury
and I hope it may bring you
all you need

don’t say a word
don’t say a thing to me
lend me your ears
and hear my body breathe

now the kids have all grown
while you’re off making kismet
if you answer the phone

do you ever sometimes feel alone
do you ever feel you’re not at home
god I love you but I feel alone
right down to the bone

don’t say a word
don’t sing a thing to me
speak with your heart
and leave it alone for me

****

about

Elvis Orbison Los Angeles, California

It’s humid. There are hundreds of mosquitoes taking samples of you. The water flows languidly, almost tumbling over itself in heaps. Even the grass is despondent. What can you do?

If you’re Brett Lyda aka Elvis Orbison, you wait. Patiently. Sooner or later something will move, letting you know it’s time. Time to move your index finger from the B string to the G. Then you wait some more.
