She sits him down
in a stiff chair
Rubs his back
and strokes his hair
Telling him it's okay to cry
But he just sits and stares
The merciless moon outside
Has nothing now
he's come to realize
Only the desolation he feels
The cold distance inside
But you and I now
We can be alright
Just hold on to
what we know is true
You and I now
Though it's cold inside
Feel the tide turning
While the priest just
sits and weeps
Lamenting the fact
that he can see
Darkness and light
in so much detail
He has given himself over
Refusing what he knows
to be real
He turns away
from every meal
Starving himself of goodness
He doesn't think he can heal
But you and I now
We can be alright
Just hold on to what
we know is true
You and I now
Though it's cold inside
Feel the tide turning
What if I've lost all I had
Says the stranger to his dad
And the witness is confused
He can't tell what is bad
Instead he runs up
to the nearest girl
And he comments
on her glorious curls
Says darling come with me
I'll show you
a whole new world
It's you and I now
We can be alright
Just hold on to what
we know is true
You and I now
Though it's cold inside
Feel the tide turning
You and I now
We can be alright
Just hold on to what
we know is true
You and I now
Though it's cold inside
Feel the tide turning
