The Ground We Stand On

This is the studio version from the album MEAT

                                
It s so cold here and I miss you.
                           
And I can t help feeling broken.
                             
I treat myself like I m not fragile.
                                            
Like there s no care to be taken.
                                                
And I was up last night just thinking
                                         
A hundred reasons to be sorry.
                                                
Why don t you come and lay beside me
                                                         
Since there s too much now that s vacant.

*REFF:
                                                
And oh the time that we keep wasting,
                      
Like we don t know
                                
The joy that s hard to bear.
                            
For the ground that we stand on
                      
Won t long be there.



                          
I pray that we will never tire
                                   
Of the work that lies before us.
                                  
I feel that I will be the weak one
                                           
And that you will have to carry me.
                                
I hope there never is a phone call
                                                 
To say that it s too dark to keep trying.
                                  
I hope there s time left to discover
                                    
How to cry at all the beauty.

*Back to REFF

                                                
I guess it s me there in the mirror
                                        
But I can t say that I know him.
                                          
When you tell me that you love me
                                            
There s no reason I should doubt you.
