Oconnor Hazel - If Only lyrics

rate me

What do you do when they turn on the light?

You guard your heart, so they steal your sight

You reach out in blindness, touch the alone

Its icicle fingers chill you to the bone.

What do you do when the cat gets your tongue?

No way to say it's all going wrong

Mouth out the words on the telephone

Nobody answers, nobody's home.

What's done has been done, and I won't be the one

Who despairs in the wheelchair, resigned to "If only"

No, I'll stand up again and I'll run

I'll jump up till I touch the sun

Because I won't be the one to be bound

By the sound of "If only, if only, if only"

Well, I reach out in blindness now, but what do I care?

I'll walk into walls, I'll stumble downstairs

I'll laugh like a fishwife, I'll cry like a clown

Up is the only way to go when you're down.

When I reach a mountain top, then I start to climb

I'll walk on the water, I'll turn water to wine

Hope is the one thing we've got on our side

Hope can be salvaged when all else has died.

What's done has been done, and I won't be the one

Who despairs in the wheelchair, resigned to "If only"

No, I'll stand up again and I'll run

I'll jump up till I touch the sun

Because I won't be the one to be bound

By the sound of "If only, if only, if only"
