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
