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 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 waltzing into this room

like you're walking into my arms

what would I do without you?



CHORUS

take away the love and the anger

and the 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

(what would we do without you?)



CHORUS



you might not think so now

but just you wait and see

(someone will come to help you
