Lyrics

[00:21.390] There’s signs in all the yards with a price tag and a plea
[00:28.450] Can’t you hear them houses sing?
[00:32.130] Can’t you hear them houses sing?
[00:38.120] And I can see my daughter swinging in the shade of every tree
[00:45.380] Can’t you hear them houses sing?
[00:49.110] Can’t you hear them houses sing?
[00:55.460] And I can move a mountain when the mountain moves in me
[01:02.560] And I can hear them houses sing, I can hear them houses sing
[01:12.090] Every building tells a story, every builder holds a pen
[01:19.360] Can’t you hear them houses sing?
[01:23.200] Can’t you hear them houses sing?
[01:29.220] They only tell beginnings, they’re yours to tell the end
[01:36.500] Can’t you hear them houses sing?
[01:40.410] Can’t you hear them houses sing?
[01:46.760] And I can move a mountain when the mountain moves in me
[01:53.980] And I can hear them houses sing, I can hear them houses sing
[02:03.690] If there’s limestone ‘neath the pylons, that’s stone enough for me
[02:11.220] Can’t you hear them houses sing?
[02:15.080] Can’t you hear them houses sing?
[02:20.870] Cause I’m cracked in all the places I expect my steps should be
[02:28.730] Can’t you hear them houses sing?
[02:32.590] Can’t you hear them houses sing?
[02:38.580] They sing like tired children, they just sing the things they know
[02:46.080] Then they sink into your arms until your dreams become their own
[02:53.540] But the only thing that stands between the houses and the homes
[03:01.490] Is a mountain top, an old steel pail, and thirty years of stones
[03:11.360] So all you quarrymen and miners, you family men and friends
[03:18.690] Can’t you hear them houses sing?
[03:22.620] I can hear them houses sing
[03:28.530] I’m here to move a mountain, I’m here to make a man
[03:36.250] Can’t you hear them houses sing?
[03:40.140] I can hear them houses sing
[03:46.580] Cause I can move a mountain when the mountain moves in me
[03:53.840] And I can hear them houses sing
[03:57.750] Can’t you hear them houses sing?
