The Tip of My Tongue Songtext
von John Hiatt & The Goners

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

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?

CHORUS
