From the first word that I said to the last Some strange echo remains Imprinted in the walls Recorded in the vaults We talked and tunneled through But the meanings have all changed. Because of all I said You began to regard me as strange Until with some relief You suspended disbelief I tried to tell the truth But my meaning was all changed. I saved one final word To pay off this long sentence in spades But what I thought I said Was patently misread. The spoken word Is broken here And in between the two of us The meaning is all changed.
