I heard you singing |
|
What were you singing when the people got right? |
|
Were you singing |
|
Stand and |
|
Deliver?Or was it |
|
Down by the |
|
River?Were you singing a fine old tune like |
|
Gone to Glory? |
|
Laying it down with grace and power |
|
Long about the midnight hour |
|
I heard the people all singing |
|
Like they'd never sung before |
|
All over the country |
|
Who could help but stand beside you? |
|
Hello, hello - is there anybody here? |
|
My knuckles are sore from rapping all day |
|
I said: Give me one more chance |
|
I'd do it for you if |
|
I had your way |
|
If I had your way |
|
What do I know? |
|
What do I see? |
|
Don't know nothing but the name of the game |
|
It's high-card draw with everything wild |
|
You bet your life like anyone's child |
|
What else would you want to do? |
|
I heard the people all singing |
|
Like they never sung before |
|
Singing in key and strumming |
|
Everything they heard from you |
|
Hello, hello, hello, hello ... goodbye |
|
Looking back across the years |
|
Other matters disappear |
|
In the murmur |
|
I can hear |
|
Familiar voices loud and clear |
|
Hello, hello, hello, hello ... goodbye |
|
I heard you singing |
|
Like one last song in the middle of the night |
|
Were you singing in tongues of fire |
|
Or was it knots of anger? |
|
Were you singing a fine old tune like |
|
Love Me, Love |
|
Me, Love Me |
|
Only?Were you caught btween the curtains |
|
Thinking this was too uncertain? |
|
Remember ... the people were singing |
|
Like they never sung before |
|
All over the country |
|
Did you love the way they loved you? |
|
Ain't no knocker on the last big door |
|
Just push on the panel and walk on in |
|
Hello, hello, is there anybody here |
|
But a two-bit high and a busted mirror? |
|
Hello, hello - is anybody here? |
|
My tongue is so sore from rapping all day |
|
Sunshine in the dead on night |
|
I know that can't be right |
|
Could it be? |
|
I don't know |
|
But it never done that thing before |
|
So close to my own back door |
|
It got me wondering what to do |
|
And the only thing was to come and tell you |
|
Because - |
|
I heard you singing - |
|
I heard you |
