The Cost
Lyrics by John Fleming

[Verse 1]
What can I say when a tear doesn’t matter
What does it mean when a word doesn’t call
How should I feel when a look is a shadow
And all of the windows in the world seem so small

[Chorus]
There’s a hole in the sky that used to hold all my dreams
Now there are too many mountains and not enough streams
Heartache to heartbreak, losing to lost
Silent to silence, and causing to cost

[Verse 2]
Where does love hide when we’re looking for answers
To who holds the key and who holds the card
What keeps a memory when a heart is so empty
That finding a reason to go on seems so hard

[Chorus]
There’s a hole in the sky that used to hold all my dreams
Now there are too many mountains and not enough streams
Heartache to heartbreak, losing to lost
Silent to silence, and causing to cost

[Bridge]
Holding onto a lie never helps you get by
When the next day doesn’t matter
When gold turns to rust and faith to distrust
And all of your hopes lie in tatters

[Verse 3]
Whispered voices and long-ago choices
Keeps me a prisoner of the thoughts in my head
But one heart needs another to love and to cover
When sadness and sorrow are sharing a bed

[Chorus]
There’s a hole in the sky that used to hold all my dreams
Now there are too many mountains and not enough streams
Heartache to heartbreak, losing to lost
Silent to silence, and causing to cost
