How To Explain |
When a room becomes an altar |
And what beast that must exist |
It flies with music from our lips |
And steals a kiss and blows it out, into the mist |
Where castles stand on cliffs |
And cobbled streets they wind and drift |
And moods are made and set but shift |
This place where skies are low and birds are big |
We went to sleep in day |
And woke again the same day |
We have learned to cheat the time |
And find the hours that the clocks cannot define |
Now as I looked up from that stage |
I felt the thing that had been made |
And how it raged, and how it raged |
How to explain? |
Something makes me howl |
And shiver to the core |
Oh outside if it was raining |
Then inside there’d be a storm |
We’ve got a pair of hands for climbing |
And a pair of knees to spring |
And a pair of balls for strength |
And a pair of lungs to sing |
And these limp old chords |
That say: music is the language of us all |
To write these songs is to be written |
Ah the chorus always knows what is in store |
And what is more the thing that sings us |
Is the thing that makes us roar |
I felt that beast kiss on my neck |
We clapped our hands and heard them spread |
There was a trumpet and a call |
A pack of Spaniards screamed for more |
Music is the language of us all |
Music is the language of us all |
Music is the language of us all |
Music is the language of us all |
I find it hard to speak emotional |
Cause these things are the things that can’t be said |
And when it struck |
It strikes the memory from our heads |
Once I wrote two plays |
To be immortal for a night |
And despite the unknown hours |
Something happens when the light turns out the lights |
Then we fade and yawn |
To music that’s the language of us all |
