Lyrics for Heard Somebody Cry
(I thought I heard somebody cry-- I though I heard somebody cry) I went to see what I could find Like flowers in the dead of night Like shadows in the moonlight-- I though I heard somebody cry A choir with a single voice--A picnic on a cliff Antenna like an insect--To pick up all your thoughts It isn't true I am not the ghost Without a soul . . . Come Listen to my heart You feel the beat . . . Stop Listen to the sound Of moving feet . . . Walk Through the halls at night When I'm asleep I don't believe . . .I don't believe The shoe is on the other foot--The glove is on the fist The first is like a cannonball--But it feels like a kiss I got a bed that's real soft--In a room that's always sad I thought I heard a window sigh-- I though I heard somebody cry It isn't true I am not the ghost Without a soul . . . Come Listen to my heart You feel the beat . . . Stop Listen to the sound Of moving feet . . . Walk Through the halls at night When I'm asleep I don't believe . . .I don't believe It isn't true I am not the ghost Without a soul . . . Come Listen to my heart You feel the beat . . . Stop Listen to the sound Of moving feet . . . I don't believe . . .I don't believe A choir with a single voice--a picnic on a cliff Antenna like an insect--To pick up all your thoughts I sip the running water--Like rivers from your eyes I thought I heard somebody cry--Somebody might be lost I thought I heard somebody cry--Somebody might be lost I thought I heard somebody cry--I thought I'd go and see I thought I heard somebody cry--Somebody might be me
