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 an 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
'Coz 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.
