I wanted to follow you

Down to your well-furnished cave

And to laugh at your art

I wanted to tell you the truth

But I'm always afraid

That you'll be torn apart

Oh, say the word

And I'll tell you you're wrong

Oh, say the word

I've been waiting too long

But when you talk

There's nothing to hear

I'm always changing

You're too far or too near

I wanted to tell her the truth

But I'm always afraid it's not in her heart

I wanted to say how I felt

But I'm always afraid

That she'll stop when I start

Oh, say the word

When we're there at her home

Oh, say the word

'Cause I don't want to be alone

But when she talks

She's all that I hear

How can I help it

You are always too near
