HEAVEN AND EARTH
Copyright Juliet
Lawson
You have a weird way
of showing your emotion
A strange way of
handling success
And I pity you
standing in the doorway
Wrapped within your
Englishness
It seems we enact a
kind of frisson
It seems I could get
to know you well
But just at the moment
When I move in closer
Oh but you never can
tell
And if I could ever
understand you
I could understand the
universe
I could understand
heaven and earth
Heaven and earth
What goes on behind
that cosy curtain
What gets locked away
inside the jar
Sometimes I reach out
Into the eye of
darkness
Is anybody there?
And if I could ever
understand you
I could understand the
universe
I could understand
heaven and earth
Heaven and earth
And I sometimes don’t
know where to begin
Oh I don’t understand
the world
We’re living in
You have a strange way
of showing
Your emotion
You never were a
victim of excess
And so long as you
keep standing
In the doorway
Maybe we’ll just
settle
Maybe we’ll just
settle for less
And if i
Could ever understand
you
I would understand the
universe
I could understand
Heaven and
earth |
