Testo Tip of my tongue John Hiatt

Tip of my tongue

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



CHORUS:

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



REPEAT CHORUS



BRIDGE:

You couldn't say how much it hurt you

And I couldn't see the damage I'd done

'Til I watched the greatest love I've known

All come down to a slip of the tongue



Well I'd 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?



REPEAT CHORUS
