It lay buried here. it lay deep inside me.
It’s so deep I don’t think
that I can speak about it.
It could take me all of my life,
But it
would only take a moment to
Tell you what I’m feeling,
But
I don’t know if I’m ready yet.
You come walking into this room
Like you’re walking into my arms.
What would I do without you?
Take away the love and the anger,
And a little piece of hope
holding us together.
Looking for a moment that’ll never happen,
Living in the gap between past and future.
Take away the stone and the
timber,
And a little piece of rope won’t hold it together.
If you can’t tell your sister,
If you can’t tell a priest,
’cause it’s so deep you don’t think that you can speak about it
To anyone,
Can you tell it to your heart?
Can you find it in
your heart
To let go of these feelings
Like a bell to a
southerly wind?
We could be like two strings beating,
Speaking in
sympathy...
What would we do without you?
Two strings speak in
sympathy.
Take away the love and the anger,
And a little
piece of hope holding us together.
Looking for a moment that’ll never
happen,
Living in the gap between past and future.
Take away the
stone and the timber,
And a little piece of rope won’t hold it
together.
We’re building a house of the future together.
(what would we do without you? )
Well, if it’s so deep you
don’t think that you can speak about it,
Just remember to reach out and
touch the past and the future.
Well, if it’s so deep you don’t think
you can speak about it,
Don’t ever think that you can’t change the
past and the future.
You might not, not think so now,
But just you
wait and see--someone will come to help you.
