Words Of Love - Arthur Russell

Soft as a cherry, round as a peach

Into your pocket my slow hands can reach

To see what you carry, up close to your thighs

Reaching and looking right into your eyes

But if I could convince you that these are words of love

The heartache would instantly remain

But the pain would be gone

I wish I could see what you got in your mind

That makes your eyes restless on all that they find

Don’t listen to me, I don’t know more than you

But I know that I want you but I don’t know what to do

But if I could convince you that these are words of love

The heartache would instantly remain

But the pain would be gone

I’ve used all devices to get to your wit

I’ve tried every tool that I thought could maybe fit

But I see that there’s nothing my fingers can touch

To stroke your heart open, to feel very much

But if I could convince you that these are words of love

The heartache would instantly remain

But the pain would be gone

You’re too sweet to worry, I always have thought

Never bothered to ask why I like you a lot

You move your hands slow up my back with your heart

But now we’re so close, yet feel so far apart

But if I could convince you that these are words of love

The heartache would instantly remain

But the pain would be gone
