He Never Mentioned Love
Kirsty Maccoll

(kirsty maccoll/jem finer)


I couldn't hear him when he called to me

I couldn't hear him at all you see

He was down the road away from me

How could I know his answer?

I couldn't hear him 'though he shouted hard

I couldn't hear him in my own backyard

The trains were rattling by above

He never mentioned love


He may have held my hand

When we were walking down the street

He talked about all kinds of things

But none of them were him and me

He looked into my eyes

Just as an airplane roared above

Said something about football

But he never mentioned love


I never heard him all the times he yelled

I never heard him if he tried to tell me

If my memory serves me well

He never mentioned love

I never hurt him 'though he says I did

I never hurt him but I die a bit

Each time he passes on the street

He never mentions love


I used to call him every night

And pray that he was home

I couldn't bear the feeling

I might have to live my life alone

But now my phone is off the hook

The word came from above

It told me I was wasting time

If he never mentioned love


I never heard him if he said he cared

I never heard him, I kept my claws bared

I never heard the things he says he said

He never mentioned he was scared

I never heard him when he asked of love

I never heard him as the skies above

Chucked buckets on the both of us

He never mentioned love


So if I seem hardhearted

I would like the court to note

He never mentioned love to me

In anything he wrote

And if I seem coldblooded

I should like to tell the judge

In all the time I knew this man

He never spoke of love

(or if he did)


I never heard him when he called to me

I never heard him at all you see

He was down the line away from me

He never mentioned L. You. V.

I never hurt him 'though he says I did

I never hurt him I just die a bit

Each time we meet upon the street

We never mention love
