[Verse 1]
I was thrown on the cobblestones, tossed at her feet
My fool's mouth was filled with the dust from the street
An out-of-work court jester with nowhere to go
And no need to speak for she seemed to know
[Chorus]
She sings her songs without words
Songs that sailors and blind men and beggars have heard
She knows more of love than the poets can say
And her eyes are for something that won't go away
[Verse 2]
This mad, mocking town and its dishonored guest
Disappeared in the colors that danced on her dress
She led me to safety in a forest of green
And showed my stale eyes some sights never seen
[Chorus]
She sings her songs without words
Songs that sailors and blind men and beggars have heard
She knows more of love than the poets can say
And her eyes are for something that won't go away
[Verse 3]
She spins magic and moonlight in her meadows and streams
And seeks deep inside me and touches my dreams
The morning comes smiling and I laugh with no sound
And snuggle in silence in the sweet peace I've found
[Chorus]
And she sings her songs without words
Songs that sailors and blind men and beggars have heard
She knows more of love than the poets can say
And her eyes are for something that won't go away
[Outro]
No, they won't go away
Go away
