She sits him down in a stiff [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] up to the nearest girl
And [bad word] on her glorious curls
Says, [bad word] 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 [bad word] You and I now
Though it's cold inside
Feel the tide turning
