Lyrics:

[Previously unreleased song . Lay It Down outtake]

Transcribed by T.V.Roosmalen



What does he see in those mashed potatoes?

what secrets does he hold that can be so grin?

the silence like a canyon dividing them

he's on one side she's opposite him

trying so desperately to get his attention



she says, 'honey, you're a bastard of great proportion'.

he says, 'darling, I plead guilty to that sin.'

with potatoes half way to his mouth

he looks her in the eye and says,

'without a doubt

my love for you is all that I believe in.



'With those few simple words

her heart is sent soaring

she's able to face another day

. through the anger and the laughter

she knows that she matters

and somebody out there cares.



What does she gain by all this sulking?

what trouble can there be for one so young?

dark tension building like the clouds of a storm

her daughter's in her room and she's at the door

trying to figure what all this fuss is for.



she says, 'mother, you're a witch

and I'll always hate you.'

she says, 'daughter, perhaps these words

you speak are true.'

she quietly moves towards the bed,

look her in the eye gently says,

'but I will always believe in you.'



With those few simple words

her heart is sent soaring

she's able to face another day.

through the anger and the laughter

she knows that she matters

and somebody out there cares.



what do we need to keep us going?

what do we need at the end of the day?

mysteries keep piling like dirty clothes

in the corner.

you never thought you'd give up.

but you're beginning to wonder

when through the gloom you hear

a familiar voice say....

.... a few simple words

that send your heart soaring

you're able to face another day.

through the anger and the laughter

you know that you matter

and somebody out there cares.
