Written by annA rydeR in 1990

lyrics

It's so hard to say I love you
When you look into my eyes
But so easy to say I love you
When you're gone, gone from my side
Oh the years they have fallen behind us
And the years to come they seem few
And I know I am wrong to feel embarrassed
But I can't say I love you to you

Oh the fishes they swim in the dirty sea
And the birds fall sick to the ground
There is fire all around the rainforest tree
And no more will the whale's song sound
Our muck and our rubbish is strewn upon the land
And the air it is spoilt with fumes
What once was all green is now only sand
Which is blown round our home-made tomb

It's so hard to say I love you
When you look into my eyes
But so easy to say I love you
When you're gone, gone from my side
Oh the years they have fallen behind us
And the years to come they seem few
And I know it's too late for me to realise
That I can say I love you to you

Now our children have come and found that it's true
It's not hard for them to see
That it would have been better to say I love you
Better than letting things be
For the trees that have died, for the dolphins who have cried
For the creatures still barely alive
For you and I and our children to survive
It would have been better to say I love you
It would have been better to have said I love you
