There are moments that the words don't reach
There is suffering to terrible to name
You hold your child as tight as you can
And push away the unimaginable

The moments when you're in so deep
It feel easier to just swim down
The Starks move uptown and learn to live with the unimaginable

I spend hours in the garden
I walk alone to the store
Its quiet uptown
I never liked the quiet before

I take Morgan to church on Sundays
The sign of the cross at the door
And I pray
That never used to happen before

If you see him in the streets, walking by himself, talking to himself, have pity
Peter you would like it uptown
Its quiet uptown
He is working through the unimaginable

His hair has gone grey
He passes every day
They say he walks the length of the city
You knock me out, I fall apart
Can you imagine?

           
Five years later, at the log house by the lake.
Morgan is asleep, watched over by her brother, Pepper watching him with love and concern.

Look at where we are
Look at where we started
I know I don't deserve you Morgan
But hear me out, that would be enough

If I could spare his life
If I could trade his life for mine
He'd be standing by your side
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 he was
Just let me stay here by your side
That would be enough

If you see him in the street
Walking by her side, talking by her side, have pity
M

organ, do you like it uptown? It's quiet uptown
He is trying to do the unimaginable

See them walking in the park, long after dark
Taking in the sights of the city
Look around, look around
They are tryna do the unimaginable

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
Peter by Morgan's side
She takes his hand

It's quiet uptown

Forgiveness, can you imagine?

Peter breaks down quietly into tears that he's been holding in for so long

Forgiveness, can you imagine?

Finally learning to forgive himself.

If you see him in the street
Walking by her side, talking by her side, have pity
They are going through the unimaginable
