Resolution - Dougie MacLean

All eyes are empty, they hide the heavy heart

And who’ll fix the broken dream, before it falls apart?

All things equal, to whom it may concern

The child will lose the place, and time will never learn

Hide away, don’t hide away

It’s just the price we have to pay

When nothing seems too clear

It’s so close but never near

Hide away, don’t hide away

So many foolish things they say

From the place we started from

To resolution

All things equal, it’s useless to ignore

The well known stranger, who is waiting at your door

We stand in silence, how can we be here?

Waiting in the shadow light, for nothing to appear

Hide away, don’t hide away

It’s just the price we have to pay

When nothing seems too clear

It’s so close but never near

Hide away, don’t hide away

So many foolish things they say

From the place we started from

To resolution

All things equal, to whom it may concern

The soldier leaves his post, the jury will adjourn

All faults forgotten, and old fools won’t repent

As around their jaded words, they loiter with intent

Hide away, don’t hide away

It’s just the price we have to pay

When nothing seems too clear

It’s so close but never near

Hide away, don’t hide away

So many foolish things they say

From the place we started from

To resolution
