It's Quiet Uptown

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 tryna do the unimaginable
 There are moments that the words don't reach
 There's 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
