It's been 20 days, That's 17 too long Since I Last spoke to you And now it's been 10 days, 31 long nights And you know my love's still true Now I need to know If I should let this go It's been so long since you let your love show I long for your touch I long for your kisses I hope that there soon will come a day When I'll be in your arms And your kisses will be sweet And those 3 words you might say And do those words still hold true? The ones 4 months ago You told me that you loved me I haven't heard them spoken, and it's only been a month But it seems like an eternity Now I need to know If I should let you go I just can't be silent anymore, I have to let my love show I long for your touch I long for your kisses I hope that there soon will come a day When I'll be in your arms And your kisses will be sweet And those 3 words you might say And you ask me for time - you can have all that you need And you ask me for space - room in which to breathe But I can't take not knowing - No, I really need to know If we're gonna work on this love And when it seems you'd left me, you'd moved 500 miles You said we'd work on this Nothing good comes easy, love, it's true, takes time God, it's you I miss And now you really need to let me know If you've already let me go And the rumors of your hate for me are true And I'm doomed to live my life alone I long for your touch I long for your kisses I hope that there soon will come a day When I'll be in your arms And your kisses will be sweet And those 3 words you might say

about

Deaf Child Blind was the last release featuring the "original" lineup of NBF, including Andy Harris on bass guitar, and George Edwards on drums. Originally released only on cassette, this is the first time these recordings have been available digitally. The original album includes covers of Red Lorry Yellow Lorry's "Talk About The Weather" and Michael Been's "To Feel This Way", along with 6 DeVoe-penned originals. Also included in the digital re-release are two previously unreleased demo tracks from the same era.

Original pressing on cassette also available in limited quantities.
