I May Know the Word Lyrics


I may know the word
But not say it
I may know the truth
But not face itI may hear a sound
A whisper
Sacred and profound
But turn my head indifferentI may know the word
But not say it
I may love the fruit
But not taste itI may know the way
To comfort and
To soothe a worried face
But fold my hands indifferentIf I'm on my knees, I'm begging now
If I'm on my knees gropin' in the dark
I'd be praying for deliverance
From the night into the dayBut it's all grey here
It's all grey here
But it's all grey to meI may know the word

But not say it
This may be the time
But I might waste itThough this may be the hour
Something move me
Someone prove me wrong
Before night comes with indifferenceIf I'm on my knees, I'm begging now
If I'm on my knees gropin' in the dark
I'd be praying for deliverance
From the night into the dayIf I'm on my knees, I'm begging now
If I'm on my knees gropin' in the dark
I'd be praying for deliverance
From the night into the dayBut it's all grey here
It's all grey here
But it's all grey to meI recognize the walls inside
I recognize them all
I've paced between them
Chasing demons down until they fallIn 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 and again

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Natalie Anne O'Shea Merchant (born October 26, 1963 in Jamestown, New York, U.S.) is a professional musician. She co-founded and fronted the band 10,000 Maniacs in 1981. Later, she went to college and then left the band in 1993 and started a successful solo career. Merchant plays the piano, produces and writes many of her songs.

Her debut solo album Tigerlily (1995) had three top-40 singles: 'Carnival', 'Jealousy' and 'Wonder'. This was followed in 1998 with her second solo album Ophelia, her third in 2001 with Motherland, and fourth in 2003 called 'The House Carpenter's Daughter'.

Merchant has sung alongside Tracy Chapman, Michael Stipe, David Byrne and Peter Gabriel. She has also collaborated with Billy Bragg a number of times, including the 1998 album Mermaid Avenue. Like Bragg, her work touches on social and political themes; she has been active in promoting a number of campaigning issues in both her songs and through the causes to which she lends her name.
