When We Say I Love You

When we say I love you we say 1-4-3 instead. To find out why I guess you'll have to Get inside our heads. Our secret is a sign of more That lies beneath our souls In tunnels dug through common ground By happy, fun-filled moles. I think, he feels, he thinks, I feel, We talk beneath our words, Singing silently our joy Like miked and earphoned birds. Of course our little secrets are Quite easy to uncover, Yet deeper still are wordless things That hold our lives together.
