about

Not just one... two... three... (although that matters quite a lot to musicians) but a song about things that count in life. Ours, anyway.

lyrics

One for the little boy who sat on his own
Two for the girl on the road
Three for the woman with a handmade heart
Carrying a heavy load
Carrying a heavy load

One for the girl with the sun in her eyes
Two for never stopping to rest
Three for the bad boy back from the boats
Flying like a man possessed
Flying like a man possessed

And nobody knows what’s happening
In the hollow of the human heart
We see the end and we see the road
But we don’t know where to start

One for the man in a different room
Two for the lady in black
Three for the glittering gun she holds
Stroking it along your back
Stroking it along your back

One for the wisdom of the wire and wood
Two for the birds of the air
Three for the music nobody hears
Playing when there’s no-one there
Playing when there’s no-one there

And nobody knows what’s happening
In the hollow of the human heart
We see the end and we see the road
But we don’t know where to start

One for the woman where the barricades burn
Two for the ship that sailed
Three for the child who woke on the day
When the future finally failed
When the future finally failed

One for the rustle of the raspberry canes
Two for a walk in the wild
Three for us all when we live our lives
Waiting to be reconciled
Waiting to be reconciled

And nobody knows what’s happening
In the hollow of the human heart
We see the end and we see the road
But we don’t know where to start
