The Weir

You’re hidden away, damned up tight
You turn from the world
Slip away out of sight
And nothing you feel fits you right
You build up a weir
Hold the flow, stop the light

No dreams, needs, heartache or laughter
When the weir is master
Fight, flight, triumph, disaster
Everything, everything goes

You wake and you sleep now, baby
You fast and you feast now, baby
You beat and you breathe now, baby
But when will you come back, baby?

You can choose to hope, and it may endure
(But it pulls and it wants you more)
But you choose the weir, ‘cos it wants you more
(And it wants you more)

With half of your life left behind
You turn from the world
Slip away out of sight

You wake and you sleep now, baby
You fast and you feast now, baby
You beat and you breathe now, baby
But when will you come back, baby?

Only love will save you
Only love will save you
And I love you more
I love you more
Don’t let silence take you
Don’t let silence take you
'Cos I love you more
I love you mor
