Words Lyrics

Words Fell
Like roses at our feet
When you let me see you cry
Your silent lips against my cheek
Words Fell
On a night as black as coal
Your kisses traveled deep
Your eyes pierced my soul
Words Fell

Words Fell
In another place and time
We lived within the woods
Ate berries from the vine
Words Fell
When we lay among the stones
And watched the Druids dance
And walked along the rocky shores
Words Fell

Words Fell
In another place and time
I knew your mournful blue
Knew your golden grace
Words Fell
When we let the ocean hold us
And sank beneath the waves
In the silences of the roses
Words Fell
Words Fell
Words Fell

This tale of verbal abuse finds the protagonist taking refuge in the strength of language. Williams explained to Elsewhere : "The person inside the song is dealing with one of those situations you find yourself in when you are in the wrong relationship and there is yelling and someone is verbally abusing you."

"It's about the victim finding salvation and shelter within her words," she continued. "She can go to that place that nobody can touch, and her songs can become a way of vindication."

"You have to be able to become the subject of the song to have the passion for the subject," Williams added. "But even when I'm writing in the third person I'm always writing about myself."
