No Language

Linda McLean


This much I know, this much I 'll remember 
You held my hands and taught me how to row 
And I never got to tell you I love you in my way 
Had no words you could understand to make you want to stay 
But there was nothing broken 
Not at least what you can see 
No damage when you slipped away. 
Now I'm a madman on the water 
with all my armour on protecting me 
Crashing body into the waves so nothing will be saved 
I'm floating naked on the sea 
Between these worlds I know 
Between these worlds I go 
With no language on my own finding home 
Rowing all alone looking in looking out (repeat, repeat) 
I am rowing out on that sea 
I wrote my message and I made my peace 
Crashing through that endless roar 
Moving through these shores to find my jewelry 
Between these worlds I know 
Between these worlds I go 
Oh it's in between 
Yah it's in me 
A language, where no language is, and I know I'm home
