It lay buried here
It lay deep inside me
It's so deep I don't think
That I can speak about it to anyone

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 walking into this room
Like you're walking into my arms
What would I do without you?

Take away the love and the anger
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
What would we 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
We're building a house of the future together
What would we do without you?

What 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

What if it's so deep you don't think
That 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

What if it's so deep you don't think
That you can speak about it?

What would we do without you?

Don't ever think that you can't change
The past and the future

What if it's so deep you don't think
That you can speak about it?

What would we do without you?

Just you wait and see
Someone will come to help you
