Lyrics Speak to Me - Michael Franks

Speak to Me

From the Towers of Babylon
The beat goes on-
All voices of the insincere
Confusion is middle C
Your frequency is what I need to hear
Why won’t you speak to me?
Show me some affection
Give me some direction
Lead me to your love?
Just speak to me-
Don’t torture me with silence
Solitude’s a science
I would rather not learn
For you I would lose my heart
How can you refuse my heart?
Legend says Michelangelo
Was moved to throw
His hammer at the statue’s knee
Resembling flesh and bone
Its mouth of stone
Was quiet company
