Lyrics
Can I keep my sorrows all brightly strung
Round this room like curtains hung?
Can I give to you my sideways smile?
Will you let me take my time
Even if I take a while?
Will you let me be?
Tell me, can you
Can you stand what's standing in front of you?
Do you love what you see?
Tell me, can you
Can you live with what I've been
Living through?
All my old ways start anew
On this Sunday walking with you
On both feet here I stand
With my heart in the palm of my hand
All my old ways start anew
On this Sunday walking with you
On both feet here I stand
With my heart in the palm of my hand
Can I keep my burdens
Like I keep my house?
Neatly stacked but all around
Can I give to you my hardest truths?
Can I come and then go in the ways that I do?
Will you let me be?
Tell me can you
Can you stand what's standing in front of you?
Do you love what you see?
Tell me, can you
Can you live with what I've been
Living through?
All my old ways start anew
On this Sunday walking with you
On both feet here I stand
With my heart in the palm of my hand
