I listen to the songs you sing
And understand your every word,
Both written down and those unheard
That linger in your memory,
They're always there to comfort me.
The peace that only words can bring,
I listen to the songs you sing.
I listen to your music play,
An ear you never can deceive.
Your quavers and your semibreves
Are played and heard a thousand times
In different ways by different minds
That ponder every word you say.
I listen to your music play.
The strings vibrate, the words resound,
The metronomes are keeping time
And an*lysing every line.
The ones who know, the ones who see
So far ahead in front of me;
So much is seen, so little found
As the strings vibrate, and the words resound.
I listen to the songs you sing
And understand your every word,
Both written down and those unheard
That linger in your memory,
They're always there to comfort me.
The peace that only words can bring,
I listen to the songs you sing.
