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

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?)

Well, 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

Well, if 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 not, not think so now

But just you wait and see--someone will come to help you
