John Hiatt - Tip Of My Tongue - Live Lyrics

Lyrics Tip Of My Tongue - Live - John Hiatt



An empty house
Is the only thing standin′
Between our lives
And the speed of sound
Some words flew out
And made a crash landin'
No love survived
Not a trace could be found
I broke your heart
With the back of my mind
From the tip of my tongue
To the end of the line
I walked away
And you stood there tremblin′
Like a leaf
In the autumn chill
Now this house won't say, no
What I'm still rememberin′
Three angry words
And a love that they killed
You couldn′t say how much it hurt you
And I couldn't see the damage I′d done
'Til I watched the greatest love I′ve known
All come down to a slip of the tongue
Well I'd take it back
But time won′t let me
No, time just takes
You further away
I watched you pack
A house full of memories
Where did you go
Lord, what did I say?
