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? )
Wellif 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.
Wellif 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 notnot think so now
But just you wait and see—someone will come to help you.
