Tip Of My Tongue - John Hiatt
An empty house
Is the only thing standin
Between our lives
And the speed of sound
Some words flew out
And made a crash landin
No love survived
Not a trace could be found
I broke your heart
With the back of my mind
From the tip of my tongue
To the end of the line
I walked away
And you stood there tremblin
Like a leaf
In the autumn chill
Now this house won't say no
What I'm still rememberin
Three angry words
And a love that they killed
I broke your heart
With the back of my mind
From the tip of my tongue
To the end of the line
You couldn't say how much it hurt you
And I couldn't see the damage Id done
Til I watched the greatest love I've known
All come down to a slip of the tongue
Well Id take it back
But time won't let me
No time just takes
You further away
I watched you pack
A house full of memories
Where did you go
Lord what did I say
I broke your heart
With the back of my mind
From the tip of my tongue
To the end of the line
From the tip of my tongue
To the end of the line
