lyrics

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like
if you lived above me.
Would you suspect my voice,
or would you hear me when I sing on my own?

But I'm in a chair and you are in a book,
how can I walk away now,
from the day when I thought of you?
Nobody is living alone.

I have a window, I can smoke
when I want you to be there.
And you are there,
down in the city where the worlds begin.

I don't agree that I am all alone,
but what am I to say to a city wall?
Are you a dog? Why are you barking?
Someone better let you in.

I know I have been told,
but everything I knew
and everything else
will soon be coming true.
And if I am ready
to hear about it from you
the moon will cast a shadow
at the true high noon.

You have a friend, oh you can hear me
now, or when you're speaking.
There's no better way to suffer
than to not say whatever you will.

All of the leaves in the summer agree
that the wind is nothing.
And I don't need to tell you
that soon we'll be running downhill.

We're in the dark, but you're not alone,
you can still hear my voices.
You're not alone when you say goodbye.
Oh, but we will soon meet again.

Sometimes I hear dogs in the springtime,
cities of love overflowing.
There comes an hour after the eleventh one.
Nobody can say when.

I will sing a line
and then I will reply.
Sometimes it's time to listen,
sometimes it's time to sigh.
Sometimes there's an omen
no one can deny.

Sometimes it is time.

So, it has been told,
but everything I thought I knew
and everything else
will soon be coming true.
And if I am ready
to hear those words from you
the moon will cast a shadow
at the true high noon.
