Lyrics

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW


Sunday morning I slept till ten - out late with the boys again
I was pretty sure this morning I?d get an earful
The coast was clear as I snuck downstairs
With just a folded note to greet me there
I was done my second coffee before I read your words- a little fearful

You said you felt transparent, the way I?d always ignore
So in big black letters you asked me once and for all?

Can you hear me now that I?m not there?
Do you picture me in that empty chair?
Can you hear me now that I?m not there?
Does my echo still haunt your memory?

A better man might have tracked me down
But in my sea of tears you watched me drown
So my wheels shook off the dust of 47 Meadow road

I left a hint of Obsession to fill the air
Even the shower drain kept a lock of my hair
As a sentimental keepsake just like all those words I finally told you

You made me feel transparent, the way you?d always ignore
So my bold black letters they asked you once and for all?


Can you hear me now ? now that there?s nobody left to ignore
Can you hear me now ? now that my shadow won?t darken your door
In the lonely night ? can you hear me now?
When it?s dark and quiet ? can you hear me now?
