The Venice Canals

[Verse 1]
Well I know there's pain and suffering
You can feel the tension in the air
But they can see the stars shine in Beijing
And hear the birdsong in Times Square

Well I know you're feeling insecure
From all this change that's come to pass
But the sky is blue in Singapore
And they can smell the ocean in Belfast

[Chorus]
Don't get me wrong
This ain't no happy song
And there's nothing you can hold onto for now
But when you're feeling low, my dear
Just know the water's crystal clear
And the fish are swimming in the Venice Canals

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Well I know there's heartbreak and sorrow
And I know there's really nothing I can say
We'll be closer tomorrow to the end of all this
Than we are today

So watch the sunrise from your window
Hear the rainfall on the ground
Tell your loved ones that you love them
And miss the ones that aren't around

[Chorus]
And don't get me wrong
This ain't no happy song
And there's nothing much you can hold onto for now
But when you're feeling low, my dear
Just know the water's crystal clear
And the fish are swimming in the Venice Canals
