There are moments that the words don't reach
There is suffering to terrible to name
You hold your loved one as tight as you can
And push away the unimaginable
The moments where you're in so deep
It feels easier to just swim down

Roman Sanders moves uptown
And learns to live with the unimaginable

{Roman}
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 myself to church on Sunday
The sign of the cross on the door
And I pray
That never used to happen before

If you see him in the street
Walking to himself
Talking to himself
Have pity

{Roman}
Darling, you would like it uptown
It's QUIET uptown

He is working through the unimaginable

His hair has gone grey
He passes everyday
They say he walks the length of the city

{Roman}
You knock me out, I fall apart

Can you imagine?

{Roman}
Look at where we are
Look at where we started
I hope you can hear me, up there
But hear me out
That would be enough
If I could spare your life
If I could trade his life for yours
Then you'd be standing here right now
And you would smile
And that would be enough
I don't pretend to know
The challenges I'm facing
I know there's no replacing who I'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 his side
Talking by his side
Have pity

{Roman}
Darling, do you like it uptown
It's QUIET uptown

See him walking in the park
Long after dark
Taking in the sights of the city

{Roman}
Look around, Look around
My Darling

He is trying to do the unimaginable

There are moments that the words don't reach
There is a grace too powerful to name
We push away what we can never understand
We push away the unimaginable
He is standing in the garden
Roman Sanders by a butterflies side
He takes his hand

It's QUIET uptown

Forgiveness
Can you imagine
Forgiveness
Can you imagine
If you see him in the street
Walking by his side
Talking to his side
Have pity

They are going through the unimaginable
