Love and Anger

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
