Your Name on My Tongue
I heard a bell ringing
In the tower of lost desire
Grown from small beginnings
The living world undone
Now it hums and is singing
Like words out on the wire
Hanging like surrender
Your name on my tongue
Grief was my companion
It pushed me like a sea
Compass blade at my throat
Pointing up to the sun
Fear begs a strange courage
It's a holy conspiracy
That trips me down the path
Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
Pick it up, get it up, fix it up, one more time
Pick it up, fix it up, mix it up, one more time
Pick it up, pick it up, get it up, one more time
Cause I'm still in love
Yeah, I'm still in love
I'm still in love
With you
I've set out a table
I've made up my bed
The ceiling above my head
The floor where you run
But I've barely been able
To hold my own or my peace
But I'll never let go
Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
On my tongue
Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
In the tower of lost desire
Grown from small beginnings
The living world undone
Now it hums and is singing
Like words out on the wire
Hanging like surrender
Your name on my tongue
Grief was my companion
It pushed me like a sea
Compass blade at my throat
Pointing up to the sun
Fear begs a strange courage
It's a holy conspiracy
That trips me down the path
Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
Pick it up, get it up, fix it up, one more time
Pick it up, fix it up, mix it up, one more time
Pick it up, pick it up, get it up, one more time
Cause I'm still in love
Yeah, I'm still in love
I'm still in love
With you
I've set out a table
I've made up my bed
The ceiling above my head
The floor where you run
But I've barely been able
To hold my own or my peace
But I'll never let go
Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
On my tongue
Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
