Текст песни Laura Branigan - Meaning of the word

Now theres a wind blowin' leaves along the empty street
Down by the place on the corner where we used to meet
Two people too proud to give
Afraid of what the heart demands

Two of a kind
We made up our minds to live without the ties that bind
Each to each
No surrender
Out of reach, where not one tender sound was heard
Not a cry or a whisper
No farewell

Nothing spoken
Silence fell while hearts were broken
No one stared
Was it love, did we ever know
The meaning of the word

Now there's a moon rising in the cold and distant skies
And I can feel it shinin' down like a lover's eyes
Don't know where you are tonight
Or how to tell the things we say
From what we mean
Or why we could never cross the distance in between
