The Christians
Words

The Christians Words, is a 1989 song recorded by the English band The Christians.It was their first single from their second album, Colour.

Released in December 1989 in Ireland and UK and in the first months in other Europeans countries, the song was the first major hit from the band outside the UK.

The group adapted a famous refrain of Irish folk heritage, previously known under the name of "Women of Ireland". This song has a "sweet both melody and performance".

This single also had a great success in France, although the group was not really known to the general public, particularly outside the UK.

However, the song achieved a minor success in UK where it reached only number 18 and was even a failure in Germany.

In France, "Words" debuted at the bottom of the chart but reached very quickly the first places, topping for two weeks in May but managed to stay in the Top 10 for 11 weeks.

It fell off the chart after its 19th week. Thus it was the best-selling single of The Christians in France.

The Christians Words Lyrics

If i could find words
To tell you i'm sorry
Make you understand
I mean just what i say

After all that i've heard
Why should i worry
When we ride the fine line
Between love and hate

If i had been wise
well how could i doubt you
now i'm all alone
my life in disarray

but try as i might
i can't live without you
so i cling to the hope
of a bright brighter day

oh i know we've been through this all before
how can i prove my love for you is real
no i can't do anymore
if i could only find words

and still he has dreams
and still i must learn to cope
absurd as it seems
i still have hope

if i had good sense
and heed all the warnings
i would let it be
and leave all well alone

but there's no recompense
for waking up mornings
feeling sure it's myself
who's the foolish one

yes i know we've been through this all before
how can i prove my love for you is real
no i can't do anymore
