Speak The Word Lyrics - Telling Stories - Tracy Chapman

Unsettled hearts 

Promise what they can't deliver 

Bring me the wine 

And the cold night air to clear my head 

Gray matter memory house 

Master of this trembling flesh 

Steady still my doubts 

Let me speak the word that precedes bliss 

Let me speak the word 

Let me speak the word 

Love love love love love love love love 

Let me speak the word 

Let me speak the word 

Love love love love love love love love 

Let me speak the word 

Let me speak the word 

Let me speak the word 

Let me speak the word 

These weakened knees 

Have not touched ground or pew in ages 

I haven't bowed my head 

To offer thanks to any god or to ask for favors 

But watch me now 

I'm falling down 

Praying 

To speak the word that precedes bliss 

To speak the word 

To speak the word 

Love love love love love love love love 

Let me speak the word 

Let me speak the word 

Love love love love love love love love 

Let me speak the word 

Let me speak the word 

Let me speak the word 

Let me speak the word 

Speak the word 

Let me speak the word 

Let me speak the word 

La la la, la la la la 

Let me speak the word 

Let me speak the word 

La la la la, la la la la la 

Let me speak the word 

Let me speak the word 

La la la, la la la la 

Let me speak the word 

Let me speak the word 

La la la la, la la la la la 

Let me speak the word 

Let me speak the word 

La la la, la la la la 

La la la la la la la la (speak the word, speak the word) 

La la la la la la la la (speak the word, speak the word) 

La la la la la la la la (speak the word, speak the word)
