Kate and Hal - Nathan Barr & Dimitri Smith

It lay buried here It lay deep inside me It's so deep, I don't think that I can speak about it It could take me all my life But it would only take a moment to Tell you what I'm feeling But I don't know if I'm ready yet You come walking into this room Like you're walking into my arms And what would I do without you? Take away the love and the anger And a little piece of hope holding us together Looking for a moment that'll never happen Living in the gap between past and future Take away the stone and the timber And a little piece of rope won't hold it together If you can't tell your sister If you can't tell a priest 'Cause it's so deep you don't think That you can't speak about it to anyone Can you tell it to your heart? Can you find it in your heart To let go of these feelings? Like a bell to a southerly wind We could be like two strings beating Speaking in sympathy What would we do without you? Two strings speak in sympathy (What would we do without you?) Take away the love and the anger And a little piece of hope holding us together Looking for a moment that'll never happen Living in the gap between past and future Take away the stone and the timber And a little piece of rope won't hold it together We're building a house of the future together (What would we do without you?) Mmm, yeah Mmm, yeah Mmm, yeah Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah Well if it's so deep you don't think that you can speak about it Just remember to reach out and touch the past and the future Well if it's so deep you don't think that you can speak about it Don't ever think that you can't change the past and the future (What would we do without you?) You might not Not think so now But just you wait and see Someone will come to help you Yeah

Well the raven is a wicked bird, it's wings are black as sin And he floats outside my prison windows, mocking those within And he sings to me real low It's hell to where you go For you did murder Kate McCannon When I first met Tom McCannon I was working in the mud Said he had himself a dark haired daughter, long green eyes And when she and I did meet, she was bathing in the creek Prettiest girl in the whole damn holler, that ain't no lie So I went courting Kate McCannon Got me a job and quit my rambling Everyday I just save, a quarter of my pay I can buy a diamond ring One day I come home to find My darling angel is not inside So I made for the creek, where she and I did meet Found her with some another lover And I put three rounds into Kate McCannon
