Sounds Of The City

Quiet, listen to the sounds of the city A strange and lonely city on the road I don't know if I've been here Lord, I've been such a long time gone Is there a friend among the people Who will tell me if I'm wrong? And I don't know which way to turn to Everything is strange and dense I'd like to call up my family Just to tell 'em where I've been Be quiet, listen to the sounds of the city A strange and lonely city on the road Quiet, listen to the words that stir within me The things I have a passion to reveal I don't know what they're saying And Lord, I know that they're right and true If I can summon the power within me Will they tell me what to do? And I don't know which way to turn to Everything is strange and dense I'd like to call up my family Just to tell 'em where I've been Be quiet, listen to the sounds (listen to the sounds) of the city A strange and lonely city on the road Quiet, let me think about the time before me The time and its relation to my past 15 floors below me Well, there's a city and distress They can haunt me and reject me But they'll never get me down And I don't know which way to turn to Everything is strange and dim I'd like to call up my family Just to tell 'em where I've been Be quiet, listen to the sounds (listen to the sounds) of the city A strange and lonely city on the road Quiet, listen to the sounds of the city A strange and lonely city on the road
