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
