Lyrics
When I hear you sing,
When I hear you sing,
How the words can fall
In lines of graceful measure,
When I hear you sing
When you play your song,
When you beat your gong
How the sounds can rise
And soar at leisure,
When you play your song
Sometimes I feel
My head start to reel,
As these fears of mine
Rush up my spine
Ah but they're gone,
When I hear your song.
You can't hear what's said
When the wind in your head,
Is whistling and blowing
And banging the doors
And your memory babbles
And crawls on all fours,
Ah but it's gone,
When you play your song.
In an empty sky,
No birds cry,
But a bell rings out,
And fills the air with treasure,
When you play your song.
