Red House Painters - Japanese to English lyrics

I went as far as losing sleep I went as far as messing up my life Unloving still strike me different A million miles away from home And fifteen from a payphone Where we sat lonely on the sand Where we sat lonely on the sand Where we sat lonely on the sand Where we sat lonely on the sand You're ten years older We translate Japanese to English And English to Japanese It's not that simple This dictionary never has a word For the way I'm feeling It's nothing plain for me Of a different god and moral What if I laid my head down on your stomach And put my mouth to your hand I cannot translate Japanese to English Or English to Japanese What I had to say is unsaid What I had to do is undone And if it was done I'm sure it would have k**ed our hour Where we sat lonely on the sand Where we sat lonely on the sand Where we sat lonely on the sand Where we sat lonely on the sand Above the water the awful gray Our current from Japan Didn't sweep away
