The Limits of Language Lyrics

Gesture to me a beat, clean or out of time The claims of nature have no predetermined design Willing to look closer, closer & nearer It could be revealed to you through absurdity Take off that coat and feel the benefit of the limits of language A thought of you ran away with itself Now the spoken work can run us both to sleep You don’t need to reply but to hear a voice in your letters To read into that a smile To imagine a million, million miles Take off that coat and feel the benefit of the limits of language Oh darling, if only you could feel the limits of language Is it supposed to be carefree? A certainty, a moment’s more The limits of my world meet the limits of yours You survived the precarious time Picking out you clothes, packing up your bags Sorting out your shoes & locking up the flat Take off that coat and feel the benefit of the limits of language Oh darling, if only you could feel the limits of language
