Songs You Sing

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 analysing 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
