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
And 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
'Cos 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 that
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...
