This Gulf Between Us - Billy Bragg

Who will come to carry me home?

Carry me over the river

Must I face this all on my own?

Face the lies and the gulf between us

Face the lies and the gulf between us

Dawn breaks over the squares and the parks

But the sunlight cannot find me

No warmth filters down through the dark

That lies in the gulf between us

That lies in this gulf between us

Please don’t hand me your sympathy

If only to ease your conscience

I’m sure you’d rather step over me

Than cross this gulf between us

Step across this gulf between us
