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.
