LYRIC FOR SALE

By Ed Fram

What would I say to you
If we could speak no more?
How would I greet you
If you walked through my door?

Tell me, did you know you'd be gone so long?
Did you savour the sweetness of our last song?
Did the rain wash you clean like you did hope?
Did your skin grow thick to help you to cope?

And what would you say to me
If we could speak no more?
How would you greet me
If I walked through your door?

For I never thought you'd be gone so long
I never sung it like it'd be the last song
The rain came and went, the pain must remain
Skin a-thickened, for thinnin' memories to wane ...

Now what would I say to you
If we could speak no more?
Just three words to the one I adore
How would I greet you
If you walked through my door?
With three words to the one I adore ...

And what would you say to me
If we could speak no more?
These three words I pray,
but I can't say for sure ...
And how would you greet me
If I walked through your door?
With these three words I pray,
though who can know for sure ...
