"The Words To Say" lyrics

It feels like years since I've looked in your eyes
And I've missed them every day
So blue and bright now like the summer skies
Against my sad suburban grey
Oh Harold, you've changed
And I feel estranged
And like I've been cut in to quarters

It's been a lifetime since I've held your hand
And now it feels just like a dream
So rough and rugged now you've lived the land
Holding mine so small and clean
Oh Harold, you've been
Drifting downstream
And you left me in the shallow waters

And I don't know if I can do this anymore
It doesn't feel like it felt before
There's so much less and yet there's so much more
I've spent a lifetime with you
I've given everything
Perhaps I've nothing left to give you
Other than my words but I can't find the words to say

It's been forever since I heard you laugh
And now it sounds just like a song
So soft and soothing yet it breaks my heart
For I'm not sure where I belong
Maureen, it's strange
So much has changed
And I fear the daylight's getting shorter

For I'd love to show you all the beauty that I've seen
The morning rain upon the hills of green
The evening sunlight on the mountain stream
You say you can't come with me
I know that I can't stay
I need something you can't give me
I wish I had the words
But I can't find the words to say

You know it's strange, but I just can't recall
Falling in love or even meeting you at all
Funny how these memories just slip away
So for now we draw the line
You walk your road and I'll walk mine
Until the day that we can find
The words to say
