Nicky Mehta Lyrics
"Truly [Live]"

Maybe when you find a man in a field
Sitting upright still belted in his seat
More than angels fall from the sky
Though they were surely angels on that flight

Maybe when you pull a suitcase from the sea
When things are sorted into makeshift infirmary
Though no one will be walking up that frigid beach
You fold the clothes neatly for safekeeping

Well and maybe when you realize their last moments
And you feel their lives in yours for one second
And the strangest thing is to arrive half-beckoned
Well you think you may just know finally
What it is to love truly, truly

Maybe when a man lets go for half a second
Grieves beyond the details ever mentioned
When we're done wondering how these things ever got by
Our careful constant vigilance, our ever watchful eye

'Cause she was a girl in dance school, and a boy we never found
He was a silent hurting father, and a mother unrenowned
Well, no one's coming back to this empty house
They closed the door behind them and were forever locked out

Well and maybe when you realize their last moments
And you feel their lives in yours for one second
When you choose to surrender all of this anger
Well you may just know finally
What it is to love truly, truly

Some were awake, some were sleeping
Some will always wonder what their husbands were thinking
And our children will never know
The gift of love's painful teaching we received

Well and maybe when you realize their last moments
And you feel their lives in yours for one second
And when you choose to live instead of all the suiciding
Well you may just know finally
What it is to love truly, truly
