Everyone I know is lonely

And God's so far away

And my heart belongs to no one,

So now sometimes I pray

Please take the space between us

And fill it up some way

Take the space between us

And fill it up some way



O my God you take the biscuit

Treating me this way

Expecting me to treat you well

No matter what you say

How can I turn the other cheek

It's black and bruised and torn

I've been waiting

Since the day that I was born



Take the space between us

And fill it up some way

Take the space between us

And fill it up some way



The fat man in his garden

The thin man at his gate

My God you must be sleeping

Wake up it's much too late



Take the space between us

And fill it up some way

Take the space between us

And fill it up some way



Do I have to tell the story

Of a thousand rainy days

Since we first met?

It's a big enough umbrella

But it's always me that ends up getting wet
