No one would love me
   if they knew all the things i hide
   My words fall to the floor
   As tears drip through the telephone line
  
   And the hands i've seen raised to the sky
   Not waving but drowning all this time
   I'll try to build an ark that they need
   To float to you upon the crystal sea
  
   Give me your hand to hold
   'Cause i can't stand to love alone
   And love alone is not enough to hold us up
   We've got to touch your robe
   So swing your robe down low
   Swing your robe down low
  
   The prince of despair's been beaten
   But the loser still fights
   Death's on a long leash
   Stealing my friends to the night
  
   And everyone cries for the innocent
   You say to love the guilty too
   And I'm surrounded by suffering and sickness
   So I'm working tearing back the roof
  
   And the pain of the world is burden
   And it's my cross to bear
   And i stumble under all the weight
   I know you're Simon standing there
   And I know you're standing there
