Just Say The Word

lyrics

Wish I could, simply have looked away
It would have been so much easier that way
As it was, I stayed where you I found
Wished my soul away on consecrated ground

Faith, you can forget it
Hope, will have to do, for me

But if you asked of me,
What nobody should ask of me
Then I'd say yes
I'd pull the walls down, let the roof fall
Somehow I would find the strength
For you, just say the word

Simple words, small talk, the time of day
I knew that soon it would take you away
To the house standing by the shore
And from there, to where you were before

Faith, you can forget it
Hope, will have to do, for me

But if you asked of me,
What nobody should ask of me
Then I'd say yes
I'd pull the walls down, let the roof fall
So ask of me what nobody should ask of me
And I'll say yes
I'll pull the walls down, let the roof fall
An broken shell I'd give to you
Oh, just say the word
