0:09There are moments that the words don't reach
0:12There is suffering too terrible to name
0:16You hold your child as tight as you can
0:20And push away the unimaginable
0:24The moments when you're in so deep
0:27It feels easier to just swim down
0:31The Hamiltons move uptown
0:34And learn to live with the unimaginable
0:39I spend hours in the garden
0:42I walk alone to the store
0:46And it's quiet uptown
0:49I never liked the quiet before
0:53I take the children to church on Sunday
0:57A sign of the cross at the door
1:00And I pray
1:04That never used to happen before
1:08If you see him in the street walking by
1:11Himself talking to himself have pity
1:15Philip you would like it uptown
1:17It's quiet uptown
1:19He is working through the unimaginable
1:23His hair has gone grey
1:24He passes every day
1:26They say he walks the length of the city
1:29You knock me out I fall apart
1:33Can you imagine
1:45Look at where we are
1:48Look at where we started
1:51I know I don't deserve you Eliza
1:55But hear me out
1:57That would be enough
1:59If I could spare his life
2:03If I could trade his life for mine
2:07He'd be standing here right now
2:10And you would smile and that would be enough
2:14I don't pretend to know
2:18The challenges we're facing
2:22I know there's no replacing what we've lost
2:26And you need time
2:29But I'm not afraid
2:32I know who I married
2:36Just let me stay here by your side
2:41That would be enough
2:44If you see him in the street walking by her
2:47Side talking by her side have pity
2:51Eliza do you like it uptown
2:53It's quiet uptown
2:55He is trying to do the unimaginable
2:58See them walking in the park long after dark
3:02Taking in the sights of the city
3:05Look around look around Eliza
3:10They are trying to do the unimaginable
3:14There are moments that the words don't reach
3:17There is a grace too powerful to name
3:20We push away what we can never understand
3:24We push away the unimaginable
3:28They are standing in the garden
3:32Alexander by Eliza's side
3:36She takes his hand
3:41It's quiet uptown
3:44Forgiveness
3:47Can you imagine
3:51Forgiveness
3:55Can you imagine
3:59If you see him in the street walking by her side
4:02Talking by her side have pity
4:10They are going through the unimaginable
There are moments that the words don't reach There is suffering too terrible to name You hold your child as tight as you can And push away the unimaginable The moments when you're in so deep It feels easier to just swim down The Hamiltons move uptown And learn to live with the unimaginable I spend hours in the garden I walk alone to the store And it's quiet uptown I never liked the quiet before I take the children to church on Sunday A sign of the cross at the door And I pray That never used to happen before If you see him in the street walking by Himself talking to himself have pity Philip you would like it uptown It's quiet uptown He is working through the unimaginable His hair has gone grey He passes every day They say he walks the length of the city You knock me out I fall apart Can you imagine Look at where we are Look at where we started I know I don't deserve you Eliza But hear me out That would be enough If I could spare his life If I could trade his life for mine He'd be standing here right now And you would smile and that would be enough I don't pretend to know The challenges we're facing I know there's no replacing what we've lost And you need time But I'm not afraid I know who I married Just let me stay here by your side That would be enough If you see him in the street walking by her Side talking by her side have pity Eliza do you like it uptown It's quiet uptown He is trying to do the unimaginable See them walking in the park long after dark Taking in the sights of the city Look around look around Eliza They are trying to do the unimaginable There are moments that the words don't reach There is a grace too powerful to name We push away what we can never understand We push away the unimaginable They are standing in the garden Alexander by Eliza's side She takes his hand It's quiet uptown Forgiveness Can you imagine Forgiveness Can you imagine If you see him in the street walking by her side Talking by her side have pity They are going through the unimaginable
