They saw the sign
Kept it to their hearts
The silver line, the chosen words
In the clouds all thoughts deferred
We compromise
Might as well accept the standard lines
The social ties, analysed and misaligned
Take my hand and we’ll see
What things will lie ahead
I doubt we’ll settle there
You’ll never go far with me
I don’t want to clip your wings
My burden will hold you back
The sound it makes
The fluttering of past mistakes
Now they’re gone
Surely these things would destroy
A compassionate heart
Never thought I’d go the distance
Make a mistake and renounce that
Resounding false start
Never thought I’d lose persistence
Hoping I won’t lose my way
Never going to count the cost
Never know the time it’d take
To make amends for things I’d lost
The last of my mistakes will never part
Oh happy heart, when you fall down
Is something wrong, did I hurt you?
Or did life just pass you through?
Let’s start again
Had we sung along until the end
The verse won’t show
How the story had been untold
