Can You Hear Me? - Live from the Golders Green Hippodrome 1977

La la la la la ...

Morning people take the news
A paper window on a world
They live on undisturbed

Thoughts may fly like the 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

I 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 recognised 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?
