LYRICS
Communication
by Alice Di Micele
communication’s a skill I’ve yet to master,
so i’m trying to tell you in a song
how sorry I am that I’ve hurt you
how much I regret the things that I’ve done wrong
Ten years sounds like a long time, gone by in the wink of an eye
we’ve walked many miles with our loving
weathered her storms and rejoiced under clear blue skies
and that joy is in our hearts it can’t be bought or sold or lost
she hides with innocence in there waiting patiently for nurturing and care
and if we give her what she needs she’ll blossom like any other seed
but if we water our mistrust that vine will spread and choke what’s left of us
what I’m trying to say here is that I love you
and I think it’s time for a little faith
we got a wake up every morning trusting love to see us through the day
communication’s a skill I’ve yet to master,
so I’ll try to tell you in a song
how sorry I am that I’ve hurt you
how much I regret the things that I’ve done wrong
Behind the song
Who's playing anyway?
