grant mclennan – when word gets around lyrics
a man stands by a window;
he breathes like a bird
there’s a rose by the window
sitting pretty proud and red
clothes lie abandoned, discarded
right across the bed
two day old papers lie on the floor;
flaking paint sits in his hair
he wonders why he came here;
he wonders why she’s not there
won’t you help me
to hear that sound?
we’ll keep together
when word gets around
he feels the draw and pump;
the movement of blood around his heart
he thinks he’s on a parachute
falling quickly through the dark
what he wants to know is
what do you do when the goodtimes fly?
because the pieces don’t fit together
when a sweetheart lies
won’t you help me
to hear that sound?
we’ll keep it together
when word gets around
he wants to let her know he’s found a word
but that word is in peril
it’s a word that keeps warm under a bird’s wing –
that word is “gentle”
won’t you help me
to hear that sound?
we’ll keep it together
when word gets around
