	Story Behind the Song This is a song about one of those phone calls on which your life and death depends . . . or that of a relationship, which may feel like the same thing. It’s also about words themselves, how we bridge our gulfs with them, how they shape our lives… Lyrics SOMETIMES WORDS Words & Music © Brian Campbell 2002 Sometimes words are not enough as when this void could make my heart stop I long for your touch your body next to mine, you there, in the darkness . . . But sometimes words are not enough to bridge the gulfs words made between us I go to my desk Try to write Pick up the phone Put it down again . . . I who could say so much give words to our feelings, our mystery have always been afraid to say "I love you" But sometimes words are simply not enough to heal the wounds, heal this emptiness between us The night grows long darkness closes in making me blind and mute in my silence. . . Pick up phone dial your number, whisper your name . . . and we talk and we talk and we talk . . .
