Laura Branigan - Meaning of the Word Lyrics

Now there's a wind blowin' leaves
Along the empty street
Down by the place on the corner
Where we used to meet

Two people too proud to give
Afraid of what the heart demands
Two of a kind we made up our minds
To live without the ties that bind

Each to each, no surrender
Out of reach
Where not one tender sound was heard
Not a cry or a whisper

No farewell, nothing spoken
Silence fell while hearts were broken
No one stirred, was it love?
Did we ever know the meaning of the word?

Now there's a moon rising
In the cold and distant skies
And I can feel it shinin'
Down like a lover's eyes

Don't know where you are tonight
Or how to tell the things we say
From what we mean
Or why we could never cross the distance in between

Each to each, no surrender
Out of reach
Where not one tender sound was heard
Not a cry or a whisper

No farewell, nothing spoken
Silence fell while hearts were broken
No one stirred, was it love?
Did we ever know the meaning of the word?

Don't know where you are tonight
Or how to tell the things we say
From what we mean
Or why we could never cross the distance in between

Each to each, no surrender
Out of reach
Where not one tender sound was heard
Not a cry or a whisper

No farewell, nothing spoken
Silence fell while hearts were broken
No one stirred, was it love?
Did we ever know the meaning of the word?

Each to each, no surrender
Out of reach
Where not one tender sound was heard
Not a cry or a whisper

No farewell, nothing spoken
Silence fell
