Is It Any Wonder?

The Pearlfishers

Compositor: David Scott / Howard Kaylan / Tom Scott

is it any wonder we can't survive?
when everything we're under weighs a ton
makes us into vagabonds
lost in the woods
hiding in the deepest trees
under the darkest sun

and that is why we're living away from each other
hiding away from it all
but if we hold on, you never know

and it's the strangest journey
that lasts a million miles
it's hard to find an answer
it's hard to take
when every time I turn around I see your face
on every street, in every town
papers and magazines

tell me why we're living away from each other
hiding away from it all
'cause if we hold on, you never know

if I could stop it all spinning round and round
and never let you down
I'd work out why it all goes wrong
each time we make a start
the landscape of a heart's a mystery to me

so baby, we must discover
a way we can live with each other
we've got to hold on, hold on
