Moments that the words don't reach
There's a suffering too terrible to name
Hold your child as tight as you can
And push away the unimaginable
The moments when you're in so deep
It's easier to just swim down
And I move uptown
And learn to live with the unimaginable
Hours in the garden
Walk alone to the store
And it's quiet uptown
I never liked the quiet before
I take the children to church on Sunday
A sign of the cross at the door
And I pray
That never used to happen before
If you see him in the street, walking by
Himself, talking to himself, have pity
Do you like it uptown?
It's quiet uptown
His hair has gone grey. He passes every day
They say he walks the length of the city
There's a suffering too terrible to name
Hold your child as tight as you can
And push away the unimaginable
The moments when you're in so deep
It's easier to just swim down
And I move uptown
And learn to live with the unimaginable
Hours in the garden
Walk alone to the store
And it's quiet uptown
I never liked the quiet before
I take the children to church on Sunday
A sign of the cross at the door
And I pray
That never used to happen before
If you see him in the street, walking by
Himself, talking to himself, have pity
Do you like it uptown?
It's quiet uptown
His hair has gone grey. He passes every day
They say he walks the length of the city
