Amy’s Answer
(Heffernan/Rolando)

The shadowy walls of a church that once seemed
A sacred cathedral of magical dreams
But these days, we don’t ask what the miracle means.

Amy can wait for the song that he brings.
She sits in the silence where no church bell rings.
She whispers the words, in the stillness, she sings.

“I’m waiting for you, only for you.
Only your faith is true”
"Sto aspettando te, soltanto te
Solo la tua fede è vera "

Nobody comes, nobody goes,
Nobody changes what nobody chose.
Nobody dances, there’s no bloody chances
Nobody asked you, nobody answers.

Games in the garden with Amy and Steve:
Playing at ‘hold on to me and believe’
Saint Christopher takes you when you need to leave

Amy waits only for Steve and he knows
The vagabond goes when a bitter wind blows
The traveller carries the weight of the road

“And all I can feel is all that’s real.
Only to love I kneel”

Nobody comes, nobody goes,
Nobody changes what nobody chose.
Nobody dances, there’s no bloody chances
Nobody asked you, nobody answers.

Amy looks at the time and says, “Steve, I’m afraid.
If it’s a game then I’m losing and alone, I won’t play.
Though I want for your freedom, I want you to stay.”

Nobody comes, nobody goes,
Nobody changes what nobody chose.
Nobody dances, there’s no bloody chances
Nobody asked you, nobody answers.
But Amy can wait and make up her mind
Her natural selection is holy design

Though the colours are faint and the time has worn thin
Still, the picture she paints is the sinner within
Who walks out when the saints go marching in.

Nobody comes, nobody goes,
Nobody changes what nobody chose.
Nobody dances, there’s no bloody chances
Nobody asked you, nobody answers.
But Amy can wait, Amy can wait
With the statues in silence, she stands at the gate.
Through the games and the glances, she says “I’ll take my chances
I’ll do what he asks me”, is all Amy answers.
