Song Description

There's a beauty in the way we express ourselves.

Lyrics

Expression


V1:
I was walkin' with my lady
from a Mexican café
Saw a teen-age kid in a dimly lit
foggy downtown alleyway
Like a boulevard Da Vinci,
bunch of spray cans at his feet
Stood there in the dust, and he painted us
on a canvas of concrete

Chorus:
He's got somethin' that he feels
That his spirit can't conceal
Under cover of the dark
He reveals his secret heart
And it almost borders on obsession
Cos it's life...cos it's love
That's the beauty of expression

V2:
Further down the moonlit sidewalk
we heard magic on the wind
Old man by the curb, wove enchanted words
with a thrift store violin
There beneath the city's shadows,
I soon took my lady's hands
As that old man swayed, ev'ry note he played
led us in a mystic dance

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
We got home and walked inside
feeling like the spellbound night
Had already stripped us bare
There were whispers...there was wine
I was hers and she was mine
As if nothing else was there

Repeat Chorus
