Your Name on My Tongue by Billy Bragg Lyrics

I heard the bell ringing
In tower of lost desire
Grown from small beginnings
The living world undone

Now it hums and is singing
Like words out on the wire
Hanging like surrender
Your name on my tongue

Grief was my companion
It pushed me like a sea
Compass blade at my throat
Pointing up to the sun

Fear begs a strange courage
It's a holy conspiracy
The trips me down the path
Your name on my tongue

Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
Get t up, pick it up, fix it up, one more time
Get t up, pick it up, fix it up, one more time

'Cause I'm still in love
Yeah I'm still in love
I'm still in love
With you

I've set out a table
I've made up my bed
The ceiling above my head
The floor where you run

But I've barely been able
To hold my own or my peace
But I'll never let go
Your name on my tongue

Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue

Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
Your name on my tongue
