Can You Hear Me

Morning people take the news A paper window on a world They live on undisturbed Thoughts may fly like lonely birds And lost behind the silent words Voices are unheard Put it down to city life Oh, if I understood Passing by so easily I'd reach you if I could Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Fly like a song, fly while you're singing A song without you is a bird without winging Some city flights leave in the morning Some city nights end without warning Can you hear me call? Evening people see the day A silhouette on every face A shadow on their eyes Take my place within the crowd We walk the dusty streets around Encompassing our lives Put it down to city times Oh, if I understood Passing by so casually I'd reach you if I could Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Fly like a song, fly while you're singing A song without you is a bird without winging Some city flights leave in the morning Some city nights end without warning Can you hear me call? Can you hear me call? Can you hear me call? Calling to the sky The thunder drowns my voice within the rain And I know you're near me And I call throughout the storm I know that you don't hear me I call your name I call your name I call your name Can you hear me call your name? Can you hear me call Hear me call your name? I call your name I call your name Can you hear me call your name? Night time people find it hard To hear themselves above the noise The music holds its own I recognized a place I'd known I turned to find it carved in stone A mirrored smile alone Put it down to city nights Oh, if I understood Passing by so far from me I'd reach you if I could Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Fly like a song, fly while you're singing A song without you is a bird without winging Some city flights leave in the morning Some city nights end without warning Can you hear me call? Can you hear me call? Can you hear me call?
