I May Know The Word Lyrics by Natalie Merchant

I May Know The Word Lyrics

    I may know the word
    But not say it
    I may know the truth
    But not face it
    I may hear a sound
    A whisper sacred and profound
    But turn my head
    Indifferent

    I may know the word
    But not say it
    I may love the fruit
    But not taste it
    I may know the way
    To comfort and to soothe
    A worried face
    But fold my hands
    Indifferent

    If i'm on my knees
    I'm begging now
    If i'm on my knees
    Groping in the dark
    I'd be paying for deliverance
    From the night into day

    But it's all grey here
    It's all grey to me

    I may know the word
    But not say it
    This may be the time
    But i might waste it
    This may be the hour
    Something move me
    Someone prove me wrong
    Before the night comes
    With indifference

    If i'm on my knees
    I'm begging now
    If i'm on my knees
    Groping in the dark
    I'd be praying for deliverance
    From the night into the day

    But it's all grey here
    But it's all grey to me

    I recognize the walls inside me
    I recognize them all
    I've paced between them
    Chasing demons down
    Until they fall
    In fitful sleep
    Enough to keep their strength
    Enough to crawl
    Into my head
    With tangled threads
    They riddle me to solve

    Again and again and again
