The Gentle Kind - Aztec Camera

I look around me and what do I see?

Sadness surrounds me, alone as can be

With too much time and too much distance

These chains that bind me

They won’t set me free

I look behind me and coming for me

Is my best friend, she’s my resistance

So if you find yourself alone and so unkind

And if you’ve asked yourself, over and over

And even if your heartbeats hurt like goodbyes

Try, try, try

Open your mind, spend some time

With the gentle kind

I was torn between the darkness and the light

Lost to all belief that it could turn out right

But my quiet friend turned me round

Made me see again

Took my hand, said nothing much

No lesson learned, just a gentle touch

And I am coming round

I am coming round again

Cos' in a hard world, with fastness and an eye on the money

I heard a soft voice, saying «never worry, hold on honey»

When my world was gone, a whisper kind of eased my mind

And I am holdin' on

To the gentle kind
