NATALIE MERCHANT lyrics : "I May Know The Word"

I may know the word
But not say it
I may know the truth

But not face

I may hear a sound

A whisper, sacred & profound
But turn my head
Indifferent


I may know the word
But not say it

I may love the fruit
But not taste it
I may know the way

To comfort & to soothe
A worried face
But fold my hands

Indifferent

If I'm on my knees

I'm begging now
If I'm on my knees
Groping in the dark

I'd be praying for deliverance
From the night into the day
But it's all gray here

It's all gray to me

I may know the word

But not say it
This may be the time
But I might waste it

This may be the hour
Something move me
Someone prove me wrong

Before night comes
With indifference


If I'm on my knees
I'm begging now
If I'm on my knees

Groping in the dark
I'd be praying for deliverance
From the night into the day

But it's all gray here
But it's all gray to me


I recognize the walls inside
I recognize them all
I've paced between them

Chasing demons down
Until they fall
In fitful sleep

Enough to keep their strength
Enough to crawl
Into my head

With tangled threads
They riddle me to solve


Again & again & again
