Touch (J.Richmond/J.Maunder/J.Roche)

Not his first glancing blow
Touch with a fist all he knows
Visibly coiled, moving too fast
Close to the boil
Speaking with hands

Voices raised, needs not met
Show me your self, not self defense
Voices raised, makes no sense
In a language of touch
In a language of touch


Torn but not broken: knows her place
A measure of pain, a covered face
Once like a game she played along
Given no name the charade goes on

Voices raised, needs not met
Show me your self, not self defense
Voices raised, makes no sense
In a language of touch
In a language of touch


Why must a boy always shout to be heard?
In the roar of emotion where the lines get so blurred
Sometimes a touch tells a thousand words

His canvas her flesh: a bare wall to tag
A flicker of regret stamped out like his cigarette

Hold without breaking
Weakness is strength
Heat without burning
Touch without haste
Reach without failing
Never too late
