Words Are Not Enough Lyrics — Ballad Lines

[CAIT]
Near every night this week
The same vivid dream
I'm stood here starin
Bouncin aff every wa'
A hert-stoppin scream
I'm just stood starin
It's fell an hurt itself
Lyin helpless
It's fell an hurt itself
I just turn awa
I dinna feel sorry
I dinna feel sympathy
I dinna feel onythin

(Spoken) Ye think I'm wicked

[JAMIE, spoken]
It's just bad dreams. Too many o thae sinister sangs

[CAIT, spoken]
I dinna feel like a mither, Jamie

[JAMIE, spoken]
I doubt any wumman does until-
[CAIT, spoken]
I mean I dinna think I'm meant to be a mither-

[JAMIE, spoken]
Stop. Ye'll be perfect, Cait. And we've got God on our side


(Sung)
Yours are the ey?s I see
When ma ain eyelids clos?
[CAIT]
I hear it
[CAIT, JAMIE]
As I hit the pillow
[JAMIE]
Yours is the face I want
[CAIT]
My skin crawls
[JAMIE]
To face day after day
[CAIT]
Day after day
[JAMIE]
As we strip the willow

Cait, I'm right here with you
I'm ready to conquer this fear with you
[CAIT]
It's aye been you, but this -
[JAMIE]
Is just a bad dream
[CAIT]
It feels real in me
[JAMIE]
Cait, keep yer heid
[CAIT]
I'm tryin to
[JAMIE]
Just breathe
[CAIT]
I -
[JAMIE]
Cait -
[CAIT]
Canna, I -
[JAMIE]
Try -
[CAIT]
Words are not enough
Words are not enough
Words are not enough
Words are not enough
Words are not enough
Words are not enough
Words are not enough
Words are not enough

[JAMIE]
Aw that I hae to gie
I hae gied it to you

[CAIT]
Every day

[JAMIE]
Has it no been enough for ye?

[CAIT]
The future I want to see
It is here, it is true

[JAMIE]
So you say
But it seems ma love for ye
Just leaves ye cold inside
[CAIT]
No, you're ma flame, Jamie

[JAMIE]
This terror ye hold inside
Am I to blame?

[CAIT]
Jamie, listen

[JAMIE]
Yer words are like puzzles to me
And I see ye recoil as I reach out to touch ye

[CAIT, with JAMIE]
Words are not enough
Words are not enough
Words are not enough
Words are not enough
Words are not enough
Words are not enough
Words are not enough
Words are not enough

[CAIT]
How dae ye tell a man
Wi the gold light o God on his shoulders
You're holdin a bit of his gold inside ye
A bit that ye want to rip oot
Can ye aye love that man
When whit grows fae his love maks ye
Shudder an scunner an scared
I want a life wi you
Just no the life ye've set yer hert on

[ANCESTORS]
Oh, women of earth, wind and flame
Born under changin' skies
Oh, common in blood and in name
The future and past in their eyes
