When It Sings Lyrics
The song When It Sings is performed by Elvis Costello in the album named North in the year 2003 .
Send When It Sings Ringtone to your Cell
All the words you say to me have music in them
All the sorrows and the joys like magnetism
And a selfish boy looks through a prism
And says what is but never asks what isn't
But a voice contains many precious things
It laughs and then it sings
And all the lies that we can tell to our foolish selves
Maybe this is the love song that I refused to write her
When I loved her like I used to
And I fear my heart may spin and fracture
Like tears of stone falling from a statue
But a voice contains all that's true and false
Then cries for someone else and for some honest tenderness
So I must confess
All the words you say to me have music in them
All the sorrows and the joys like magnetism
And a selfish boy looks through a prism
And says what is but never asks what isn't
