Laura Branigan – Meaning of the Word



ledge69

From her 1987 album, Touch.

Now there’s a wind blowin’ leaves alone the empty street

Down by the place on the corner

Where we used to meet

Two people to proud to give

Afraid of what the heart demands

Two of a kind

We made up our minds to live

Without the ties that bind

Each to each

No surrender

Out of reach

Where not one tender sound was heard

Not a cry or a whisper

No farewell

Nothing spoken

Silence fell while hearts were broken

No one stirred

Was it love?

Did we ever know the meaning of the word?

Now there’s a moon rising in the cold and distant skies

And I can feel it shinin’ down like a lover’s eyes

Don’t know where you are tonight

Or how to tell the things we say

From what we mean

Or why we could never cross the distance in between

Each to each

No surrender

Out of reach

Where not one tender sound was heard

Not a cry or a whisper

No farewell

Nothing spoken

Silence fell while hearts were broken

No one stirred

Was it love?

Did we ever know the meaning of the word?

Don’t know where you are tonight

Or how to tell the things we say

From what we mean

Or why we could never cross the distance in between .

  1. Brilliant song, and album. I still play Touch regularly. She did not get the credit she deserved for this one. Great production by David Kurshabaum, who also did the Tracy Chapman debut the very next year.

  2. The music in this song is truly amazingly beautiful that I can't even begin to describe, just like I can't even begin to describe the beauty of Laura's voice in this very song. My god, it brings tears to my eyes to know that someone so beautiful could produce such a beautiful and unearthly song could be gone. Laura you truly are one of a kind and will ALWAYS be my favourite singer, and in my heart.

  3. Eu sou muito feliz por ter conhecido as canções lindas dessa incrivel artista. Eu a conhecia quando poucas pessoas a conheciam. E as vezes falo pra alguém e não sabem quem foi LAURA BRANIGAM. POR UM LADO EU LAMENTO. MAS POR OUTRO ME SINTO UM FELIZARDO
