Meaning of the Word

Now there's a wind blowin' leaves alone the empty street Down by the place on the corner Where we used to meet Two people to proud to give Afraid of what the heart demands Two of a kind We made up our minds to live Without the ties that bind Each to each No surrender Out of reach Where not one tender sound was heard Not a cry or a whisper No farewell Nothing spoken Silence fell while hearts were broken No one stirred Was it love? Did we ever know the meaning of the word? Now there's a moon rising in the cold and distant skies And I can feel it shinin' down like a lover's eyes Don't know where you are tonight Or how to tell the things we say From what we mean Or why we could never cross the distance in between Each to each No surrender Out of reach Where not one tender sound was heard Not a cry or a whisper No farewell Nothing spoken Silence fell while hearts were broken No one stirred Was it love? Did we ever know the meaning of the word? Don't know where you are tonight Or how to tell the things we say From what we mean Or why we could never cross the distance in between --- Meaning of the Word - Laura Branigan
