{SAMMY}
There are moments that the words don't reach
There is suffering too terrible to name
You hold your child as tight as you can
And push away the unimaginable
The moment's when your in so deep
It feels easier to just swim down
{SAMMY/ENSEMBLE}
The Valleyway's move uptown
And learn to live with the unimaginable
{LUKE}
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 the children to church on Sunday
The sign of the cross at the door
And I pray
That never used to happen before
{COMPANY}
If you see him in the street walking by himself, talking to himself
Have pity
{LUKE}
Joan, you would like it uptown
It's quiet uptown
{COMPANY}
He is working through the unimaginable
His hair has gone gray
He passes everyday
They say he walks the length of the city
{LUKE}
You knock me out
I fall apart
{COMPANY}
Can you imagine?
{LUKE}
Look at where we are
Look at where we started
I know I don't deserve you, Irene
But here me out
That would be enough
If I could spare her life
If I could trade her life for mine
She'd be standing here right now
And you would smile
And that would be enough
I don't pretend to know
The challenges we're facing
I know there's no replacing what we'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
{COMPANY}
If you see him in the street, walking by her side, talking by her side
Have pity
{LUKE}
Irene, do you like it uptown?
It's quiet uptown
{COMPANY}
He is trying to do the unimaginable
See them walking in the park
Long after dark
Taking in the sights of the city
{LUKE}
Look around, Look around, Irene!
{COMPANY}
They are trying to do the unimaginable
{SAMMY}
There are moments that the words don't reach
There's a grace too powerful to name
We push away what we can never understand
We push away the unimaginable
They are standing in the garden
Luke by Irene's side
She takes his hand
{IRENE}
It's quiet uptown
{COMPANY}
Forgiveness
Can you imagine?
Forgiveness
Can you imagine?
If you see him in the street, walking by her side, talking by her side
Have pity
They are going through the unimaginable
