lyrics

What to say when nothing you say will change a thing
To feel when the feeling is not yours to claim
To do when you're right on the line between a stranger and a friend
A hope and an end

I'm so sorry that grief is a lonely thing
And sympathy can't quite play empathy's game
But if you'd have a beer or a coffee
We can sit for a while, you can tell me his story
Tell me your story

What to say when you know just enough to care
To feel when you hurt just enough to be there
To do when Death comes shaking his fist at the living
To keep on giving

And I'm aware that Death waits for us all
I care knowing we've got to leave this
But while we're here there is only one question
Alone or together?
Alone or together?
