lyrics

Tell Me.

There’s a hole in my side
It’s where my heart used to be
But since I gave it away
I’ve been seeing things differently

Did you call out my name?
As you were running away
You will get what you gave
From the love that you made

But now I’m asking
Oh – will the blind man see?
Oh – will the deaf man hear?
Oh – will the ocean rise?
And will you ever tell me what I’m doing here?

So I see by the light
And I hear by the sound
And as I’m climbing the stairs
I will never look down

But now I’m asking
Oh – will the blind man see?
Oh – will the deaf man hear?
Oh – will the ocean rise?
And will you ever tell me what I’m doing here?

And if I stand on my own can I reach for my soul?
And if lay down and die, will my lover not cry?
Tell me why.

But now I’m asking
Oh – will the blind man see?
Oh – will the deaf man hear?
Oh – will the ocean rise?
And will you ever tell me what I’m doing here?
