Can we ever get rid of the what's and the if's

And the doubts that exist in our minds

In the silence I am tricked into thinking you'll forget

And I'll be stranded like a man in a mine

The day between the soil and the sky

An emptiness, a void, a heaviness, a sigh

And I know you will make it through alive

'Cause you never said goodbye

Like a city besieged, it was the loneliest thing

Your silence held in cold delay

And I felt faint of heart 'cause I was caught between

The weight of everything I couldn't say

The day between the soil and the sky

An emptiness, a void, a heaviness, a sigh

And I know you will make it through alive

'Cause you never said goodbye

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

How to follow, to follow, to follow

'Cause you and I know I can't go, I can't go

Between the gallows and the gates

The day between the soil and the sky

An emptiness, a void, a heaviness, a sigh

And I know you will make it through the night

'Cause you never said goodbye
