[Verse 1]
I set me down on the highest rock
On the hill at Big Sur
It was dark and all the stars were spread out wide
As wide as my love for her
I was sure that I was fallin'
I felt time and space extend
And I thought I heard her callin' from the place
The place where words end

[Chorus]
Where words end
That's where my love begins
And reaches just as far
As any distant star
Where words end
There'll be no "might-have-been"s
She'll be waiting for me there
Just across the river
Where all the words end

[Verse 2]
So I gave some thanks to silence
And for all the good it's done
As a brand new constellation bloomed in space
In the shape of my mother's face
In that starry dome of silence
You could have heard a falling pin
She was standin' in a silver crown of grace
And I watched her stars ascend
[Chorus]
Where words end
That's where my love begins
And reaches just as far
As any distant star
Where words end
There'll be no "might-have-been"s
She'll be waiting my best friend
Just across the river (Just across the river)
Just across the river (Just across the river)
Just across the river
Where all the words end
Where all the words end
