No Tongue Can Tell
No tongue can tell, baby
no tongue can tell
how far it goes
to the bottom of that well
how is that man
ever going to feel better
how are we all
ever going to get better
No tongue can tell
no tongue can tell
what all is said
from the thick of her veil
alone in the dark
or only shut-eyed
when the sentence is bad
but freedom feels like
hell
No tongue can tell
No tongue can tell
It’s a long way to go
and I’ve got my shoes on
no tongue can tell
how far it goes
to the bottom of that well
how is that man
ever going to feel better
how are we all
ever going to get better
No tongue can tell
no tongue can tell
what all is said
from the thick of her veil
alone in the dark
or only shut-eyed
when the sentence is bad
but freedom feels like
hell
No tongue can tell
No tongue can tell
It’s a long way to go
and I’ve got my shoes on
