Speaking a dead language- Joy Williams

B F# Ab E
We built a tall, tall tower
Towards the sun, towards the sun
Took some words and built a wall
And called it love, called it love
B F# Ab
Somewhere in all the talking, the meaning faded out

B F# Ab E
Oh, I wonder when did it all stop making sense?
I don't understand
I remember, we were so sure, so innocent
Oh, but that was then
Can we ever go back again?
Can we ever go back?

B F# Ab E
You're speaking a dead, dead language
You don't sound like yourself
I hope it's just lost in translation
So why don't you show, don't try to tell
B F# Ab
Brick by brick, we started crumbling
Will I find you when it falls?

B F# Ab E
Oh, I wonder when did it all stop making sense?
I don't understand
I remember, we were so sure, so innocent
Oh, but that was then
Can we ever go back?

Don't hold your breath
Look around
Try to add it up, pin it down
But you can't

B F# Ab E
Oh, I wonder when did it all stop making sense?
I don't understand
I remember, we were so sure, so innocent
Oh, but that was then
Can we ever go back again?
Can we ever go back?
