ALMOST TALKED ABOUT IT
By Martin Holsinger
I brought you bags of groceries
On a winter afternoon
And though I was in a hurry
And said I’d be leaving soon
You shared a cup of tea with me
And asked me what was new
We talked about the weather
And the kids and ‘bout your ma
We talked about the government
And ‘bout our gardens too
But as I rose to leave you there
Deep in my heart I knew
That once again we hadn’t talked
The way we used to do
Chor:
And I almost talked about it
Yes I almost talked about it
Almost talked about the thing
That we don’t talk about no more
But I didn’t talk about it
No I didn’t talk about it
Just said goodbye and kept my smile on
As I walked on out your door
Now we don’t get together
Quite the way we used to do
And I’ve been there with someone else
Since I was there with you
I’m not the man you used to know
That kind of makes me glad
But something’s lost between us
I feel it, and feel sad
Chor.
I almost talked about it
Will I ever open up?
And would you open if I did
Or would you just stay shut?
I’m afraid to lose what’s left of us
If I speak from my heart
I’m afraid you’ll smile at me and say
“Let’s make a brand-new start.”
Chor.
Will I ever talk about it?
Well you know I kind of doubt it
The feeling fades a little further
Every time that I say “no”
Will I ever talk about it?
Well you know I kind of doubt it
My heart just grows a little colder
Every time that I say “no”
My heart just grows a little colder
Every time that I say “no”
