There is a darkness in the sky   As if the end is now at hand  And there’s a sadness in your eyes   I never did quite understand  They say there’s wise men in this world  But even they can’t help us now  If we can salvage what is left  I beg you to please tell me how    You tried so hard to make this work  You tried so hard to make it fly  I didn’t mean to make you hurt  I never meant to make you cry  And after all that we’ve been through   And after all that has occurred  If there is anything I can do  All you need is to say the word  Just say the word    Hear me, why can’t you hear me?    You tried so hard to look away  You tried so hard to heal the sores  I never wanted it this way   But now it’s too close to ignore  Still after all that we’ve been through   And after all that has occurred  If there is anything I can do  All you need is to say the word  Just say the word    But she left and she said-  You never listen to me  You still aren’t listening to me  You just don’t hear me    And she said-  You never listen to me  You still aren’t listening to me  Why can’t you hear me?    Why didn’t you just say the word   (Even wise men can’t save us now)  All you needed was to say the word   (I beg you to please tell me how)  I’m just sorry cause I never heard   (Even wise men can’t save us now)  Why didn’t you just say the word   (I beg you to please)  Tell me how    I never did quite understand why  I never did quite understand, I...  I never did quite understand why  I never did quite understand, I...    There is a darkness in the sky   As if the end is now at hand  And there’s a sadness in your eyes   I never did quite understand    But just say the word  Baby just say the word  It’s so quiet  Laugh away, laugh away  It’s so quiet  Laugh away, laugh away    these lyrics are submitted by CHG
