They're Only Words - Miguel Bose

Before you’re out of reach

Will they all get blown away?

They’re only words

Whispers softly in the dark

Did we both believe

They could stand the light of day?

They’re only words

I can’t hold them in my arms

As the echoes call

I can feel them slip away

With every grain of sand

That washes out to sea

I count them one by one

I count the cost of love

The words are all I have

Until the tide has turned

To bring you back to me

If all the stars that shine on me shine on you

If all the natural desire is breaking through

We’re told the promises of love are just a summer long

They say they’re only words

They could be wrong

They’re only words

Cast on the water as it flows

Though it seems so clear

We can all be swept away

With every grain of sand

That washes out to sea

I count them one by one

I count the cost of love

The words are all I have

Until the tide has turned

To bring you back to me

If all the stars that shine on me shine on you

If all the natural desire is breaking through

We’re told the promises of love are just a summer long

They say they’re only words

They could be wrong
