From Where I Stand - Ward Thomas

I can remember shouting

I can remember slamming doors

And remember seeing signs

Holding it all inside me

Trying to read between the lines

And I can still hear the silence

It fell on the floor like heavy rain

God let it wash the words away

Nothing was strong enough to save me

Or wash away the stains

From where I stand

With the things I know now

They were counting the years on one hand

And they’re counting the tears on the other

From where I stand

I could never have known

When something loves

Something sufferers

And something dies

Then we cry

Nothing had felt so empty

Nothing had felt so insecure

Nothing could take me from that place

Wanting to hear your every word

And know the reason for your fallen face

There was someone to hold my hand

Somebody to share my point of view

Standing beside me as we go

At least if I have that forever

I’ll never have to know

From where I stand

With the things I know now

They were counting the years on one hand

And they’re counting the tears on the other

From where I stand

I could never have known

When something loves

Something sufferers

And something dies

Then we cry

From where I stand with the things I know now

They were counting the years on one hand

And they’re counting the tears on the other

From where I stand

I could never have known

When something loves

Something sufferers

And something dies

Then we cry
