lyrics

LOVE & HOPE

Counting all the raindrops
on a night as dark as this
Could take a little while
But I think I'll take the risk

The star-strewn sky is hidden
behind clouds as thick as boredom
I close my tired eyes
but sleep won't seem to come

When all that I have left is
love and hope
The sinking man, the drowning ship
are rescued by the slimmest rope
And every time you catch me
off my guard
I never see you coming
but no one ever looked so hard

Things just have a habit
of turning up unasked
Afraid to take them on
Afraid that it won't last

And every word that's written down
in fire or in ice
seems to make no difference
whether warning or advice

Why can you hear
what I can't speak
Where do you disappear
when you move out of reach

Standing on the stairs
where you were yesterday
Trying to fill the image
of everything you had to say

The morning light is coming
and I'm still here wide awake
Thankful as I look around
at what a mess you made

When all that I have left is
love and hope
The sinking man, the drowning ship
are rescued by the slimmest rope
And every time you catch me
off my guard
I never see you coming
but no one ever looked so hard
