It's Quiet Uptown

F                              
      There are moments that the 
              C
words don't reach
There is suffering too terrible to 
Dm
name
You hold your child as tight as you 
 A#
can
                          F
And push away the unimaginable
                              C
The moments when you're in so deep
                             Dm
It feels easier to just swim down

                     A#
The Hamiltons move uptown
And learn to live with the 
        F
unimaginable

                         C
I spend hours in the garden
                    Dm
I walk alone to the store
                        A#
And it's quiet uptown
                           F
I never liked the quiet before
I take the children to church on 
C
Sunday
                           Dm
A sign of the cross at the door
              A#
And I pray
                             F
That never used to happen before


If you see him in the street
C
Walking by himself, talking to 
himself
     Dm
Have pity

Phillip, you would like it uptown, 
      A#
it's quiet uptown

He is working through the 
        F
unimaginable

His hair has gone gray
   C
He passes every day
They say he walks the length of the 
Dm
city

He'd be standing here right now

And you would smile
                          C
And that would be enough

                   Dm      
I don't pretend to know the 
                   Am
challenges we're facing
                      A#
I know there's no replacing what 
we've lost

But I'm not afraid

I know who I married
Dm                            A#

Talking by her side

He is trying to do the unimaginable

                              C
See them walking in the park, long 
after dark
                            Dm
Taking in the sights of the city

Alexander by Eliza's side

She takes his hand
