Peter Hammill - The Meanings Changed lyrics

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.
