Lyrics

When you’re standing in the open doorway
When you’re calling with your open hands
There was a veil I peered once through
There was a veil that we hung one winter
Hoping it could help you walk on through
There was a veil I peered once through
You’ve been pregnant three times in out life
Our first baby left in the Middle of the night
It was Christmas time
And there was no bright star no bright light
Only empty space
Empty arms empty face
This is becoming a mother
Infinte love
Zero control
When you’re standing in the open doorway
When you’re calling with your open hands
There was a veil I peered once through
There was a veil that we hung one winter
Hoping it could help you walk on through
There was a veil I peered once through
The second time was our son
And I was terrified the whole time
Trying to close my hands around him
Trying to make this baby mine
And calling please please stay
For a while
Oh can we be happy
Can we just try
To live as though good things happen
And we will be alright
Oh can we be happy
Can we just try
To live as though good things happen
And we will be alright
There was a veil that we hung one winter
Hoping it could help you walk on through
There was a veil I peered once through
And when he was born he was hurting
His breathing it wasn’t right
I thought I'd lost another
To the middle of the night
But not this one oh not this one
Oh god oh watch him fight watch him fight
And now he’s alright
Oh can we be happy
Can we just try
To live as though good things happen
And we will be alright
Oh can we be happy
I would like to try
To live as though good things happen
And we will be alright
Oh can we be happy
Can we just try
To live as though good things happen
And we will be alright
