Words

1. Where do the words come from when you need them?
They make themselves so hard to use
Well, I wouldn't have a date with the blues
If I could only find the words.

Well, my friends all know that I love them, and
My family always brings me home, and I hold
Nothing up above them
Kin and clan is all that I am.

[Chorus:]
I would shout out my story with a heavenly glory
If I could only find the words
If I could only find the words.

2. And if I use them right
They'll help me fall asleep tonight
So, I guess I'll have to write a few
'Cause nothing short of words will do.

[Chorus]

3. Where do the words come from when you need them?
They make themselves so hard to use
Well, I wouldn't have a date with the blues
If I could only find the words.

What is it like Captain Steinbeck?
Do you worry?bout the things you miss?
Well, I do, and I hurry like a fool from 9 to 5,
Trying to keep my words alive.

[Chorus]
