He Never Mentioned Love Lyrics - Kirsty Maccoll

I couldn't hear him when he called to me 

I couldn't hear him at all you see 

He was down the road away from me 

How could I know his answer? 

I couldn't hear him though he shouted hard 

I couldn't hear him in my own backyard 

The trains were rattling by above 

He never mentioned love 

He may have held my hand 

When we were walking down the street 

He talked about all kinds of things 

But none of them were him and me 

He looked into my eyes 

Just as an airplane roared above 

Said something about football 

But he never mentioned love 

I never heard him all the times he yelled 

I never heard him if he tried to tell me 

If my memory serves me well 

He never mentioned love 

I never hurt him though he says I did 

I never hurt him but I die a bit 

Each time he passes on the street 

He never mentions love 

I used to call him every night 

And pray that he was home 

I couldn't bear the feeling 

I might have to live my life alone 

But now my phone is off the hook 

The word came from above 

It told me I was wasting time 

If he never mentioned love 

I never heard him if he said he cared 

I never heard him, I kept my claws bared 

I never heard the things he says he said 

He never mentioned he was scared 

I never heard him when he asked for love 

I never heard him as the skies above 

Chucked buckets on the both of us 

He never mentioned love 

So if I seem hardhearted 

I would like the court to note 

He never mentioned love to me 

In anything he wrote 

And if I seem coldblooded 

I should like to tell the judge 

In all the time I knew this man 

He never spoke of love 

Or if he did 

I never heard him when he called to me 

I never heard him at all you see 

He was down the line away from me 

He never mentioned LUV 

I never hurt him though he says I did 

I never hurt him, I just die a bit 

Each time we meet upon the street 

We never mention love
