Amanda Palmer - In Harm's Way lyrics
[Amanda Palmer - In Harm's Way lyrics]
What I cannot see cannot be not untrue
Standing on the barrier of me and you are
Standing where the ocean meets the sand
We cross though we barely understand
The grass is always greener on the land
What we cannot say cannot be not our fault
Searching for a harbor where
The sharks don’t call
I'm waiting where the boats arrive at night
I see the ones before
Me disappearing into light
Why would you go? When you could stay?
Why would you try? When you could walk away?
Why should I care when you’re not mine?
Why would I care when you’re
Not even my kind?
Why would you stand when you could lie?
Why would you bother to find
Something kind to say?
Why would you bother to
Love your own neighbor?
And why would you bother to
Love your own brother?
Love’s so expensive these days
What I cannot do cannot be not undone
Blinking at the reef collapsing
In the sunrise
Shining from this pamphlet in my hand
We cross as many fingers as we can
The grass keeps looking grayer as we
Find no place to land
What I cannot see can not be not unseen
Standing on the barrier of you and me
Are standing where the ocean meets the land
We cross even though we understand
We cross even though we see
The child in the sand
Why would you go when you could stay?
Why would you try when you could cast away?
Why would I care when you’re not mine?
Why would I care
When you’re not even my kind?
Why would you stand when you could lie?
Why would you bother to find
Something kind to say?
Why would you bother to
Save your own neighbor?
And why would you bother to
Save your own brother?
Why would you bother to save your own child?
Why would you bother with all of this bother?
And why would you bother with
All of these others
When there’s always you you could save?
What are you crazy?
Why would you stand in harm’s way?
Standing on the barrier of me and you are
Standing where the ocean meets the sand
We cross though we barely understand
The grass is always greener on the land
What we cannot say cannot be not our fault
Searching for a harbor where
The sharks don’t call
I'm waiting where the boats arrive at night
I see the ones before
Me disappearing into light
Why would you go? When you could stay?
Why would you try? When you could walk away?
Why should I care when you’re not mine?
Why would I care when you’re
Not even my kind?
Why would you stand when you could lie?
Why would you bother to find
Something kind to say?
Why would you bother to
Love your own neighbor?
And why would you bother to
Love your own brother?
Love’s so expensive these days
What I cannot do cannot be not undone
Blinking at the reef collapsing
In the sunrise
Shining from this pamphlet in my hand
We cross as many fingers as we can
The grass keeps looking grayer as we
Find no place to land
What I cannot see can not be not unseen
Standing on the barrier of you and me
Are standing where the ocean meets the land
We cross even though we understand
We cross even though we see
The child in the sand
Why would you go when you could stay?
Why would you try when you could cast away?
Why would I care when you’re not mine?
Why would I care
When you’re not even my kind?
Why would you stand when you could lie?
Why would you bother to find
Something kind to say?
Why would you bother to
Save your own neighbor?
And why would you bother to
Save your own brother?
Why would you bother to save your own child?
Why would you bother with all of this bother?
And why would you bother with
All of these others
When there’s always you you could save?
What are you crazy?
Why would you stand in harm’s way?
