I'll tell you a secret That I don't even understand myself - Long ago, yesterday, ten thousand years, And I only remember it now, he said "Not one word. Not one word." Down by the graveyard In the blaze and the press of the gold leaves - It's there he would drive me sometimes, Praise me and kiss me and make me swear, Not one word. Not one word... Sometimes I feel lucky. Sometimes I can't get to sleep at night. I can't love anyone - let them love me - And I think that there is no place for me here, In this world In this world, world... What I remember Is not the kiss or the fear or his face. Long ago, yesterday, ten thousand years, The torment of burning to say Just one word Just one word Just one word Just one word No To see you walking out of that door Not one tear did you cry, just one word: 'goodbye'
