Your Word - Eleanor Friedberger
Written by:Eleanor Friedberger
She came to me in deep distress
Torn with jealousy and rage
He said he'd never love her
Wouldn't marry someone her age
You don't love him no you hate him
Then she called me a fool
When you know nothing about cruelty
Then he ceases being cruel
What you see is the air
And your breath is the bond oh no
When your word isn't there
Your word is your
She dream she took off both her ears
Put them in the sand and walked away
Up rose a seven story cactus
Cast in gold and said to weigh
A million pounds of pure beauty
Measured only by those who see
What you see is the air
And your breath is the bond oh no
When your word isn't there
Your word is your
When your life is just there
What you say is what's real
No no
Because your breath is the bond
And your word is your wand
Your word
Ooh
Ooh
Your word
Ooh
Ooh
Your word
Ooh
Ooh
