|
She sits him down in a stiff chair |
|
Rubs his back and strokes his hair |
|
Telling him it's okay to cry |
|
But he just sits and stares |
|
The merciless moon outside |
|
Has nothing now he's come to realise |
|
Only the desolation he feels |
|
The cold distance inside |
|
|
|
But you and I now |
|
We can be alright |
|
Just hold on to what we know is true |
|
You and I now |
|
Though it's cold inside |
|
Feel the tide turning |
|
|
|
While the priest just sits and weeps |
|
Lamenting the fact that he can see |
|
Darkness and light in so much detail |
|
He has given himself over |
|
Refusing what he knows to be real |
|
He turns away from every meal |
|
Starving himself of goodness |
|
He doesn't think he can heal |
|
|
|
But you and I now |
|
We can be alright |
|
Just hold on to what we know is true |
|
You and I now |
|
Though it's cold inside |
|
Feel the tide turning |
|
|
|
"What if I lost all I had?" |
|
Said the stranger to his dad |
|
And the witness was confused |
|
He can't tell what is bad |
|
Instead he runs up to the nearest girl |
|
And he comments on her glorious curls |
|
Says, "Darling come with me |
|
I'll show you a whole new world" |
|
|
|
But you and I now |
|
We can be alright |
|
Just hold on to what we know is true |
|
You and I now |
|
Though it's cold inside |
|
Feel the tide turning |
