Comments: Ten Thousand Words

There's kind of a big back story on this track - but I'm not going to get into it. I'll just leave it as a sweet long song from a person who can't express how they feel.

Dave was sick when he recorded this track. I think it gives his voice a little added something,. almost like he just woke up.

Ten Thousand Words
Copyright © Seven Graylands 1993

Try to open your eyes.
There's something I want to say.
It's 4:15 and I've been laying here awake.
I've got ten thousand words
I want to try too say to you
I'm not ashamed to say that I can't piece together
I, Love and you.

If I had the strength of a thousand men.
If I had that strength I would open up my heart
and let you look in.

I should let you sleep.
I couldn't seem to get my courage up.
I'd just fumble with the words
Until it's time for you to get up

If I had the strength of a thousand men.
If I had that strength I would open up my heart
and let you look in.

Sometimes I wish that phrase would go away
It's the thing that I can't bring myself to say to you.
But after you're asleep I can whisper in your ear.

I love you.

I've got ten thousand words
I want to try too say to you
I'm not ashamed to say that I can't piece together
I, Love and you.

If I had the strength of a thousand men.
If I had that strength I would open up my heart
and let you look in.
