Language Or The Kiss Lyrics - 1200 Curfews - Indigo Girls

I don't know if it was real or in a dream 

Lately waking up I'm not sure where I've been 

There was a table set for six and five were there 

I stood outside and kept my eyes upon that empty chair 

And there was steam on the windows from the kitchen 

Laughter like a language I once spoke with ease 

But I'm made mute by the virtue of decision 

I choose most of your life goes on without me 

Oh the fear I've known 

That I might reap the praise of strangers and end up on my own 

All I've sown was a song 

But maybe I was wrong

I said to you the one gift which I'd adore 

Unwrap a package of the next 10 years unfolding 

But you told me if I had my way I'd be bored 

Right then I knew I loved you best born of your scolding 

When we last talked we were lying on our backs 

Looking up at the sky through the ceiling 

I used to lie like that alone out on the driveway 

Trying to read the greek upon the stars the alphabet of healing 

Oh I knew back then 

It was a calling that said if joy then pain 

The sound of the voice these years later is still the same 

Photos 

I am alone in a hotel room tonight 

I squeeze the sky out but there's not a star appears 

Begin my studies with this paper and this pencil 

And I'm working through the grammar of my fears 

Mercy what I won't give 

To have the things which mean the most not to mean the things I miss 

Unforgiving the choice still is 

The language or the kiss
