Lyrics

"Hear the Pulse"
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh

When I see you, you're not looking around,
and I go down and I know that you're listening to some sound
far away in the forest where squirrels are climbing the trees
and the birds they are singing and flitting round on the breeze.
Hear the pulse.

When I hear you whispering in my ear,
and your cheek on the pillow is so consolingly near,
and your lips, so playful, are nibbling on my ear,
and your hip in the bedclothes, so beautiful I cannot breathe....
Hear the pulse.

In this pulsating paradise we feel,
you take me in your arms and I'm so in love with you.

Hear the pulse of the ocean, the blood coursing by your ear.
Hear the pulse in the rhythm of our breath when we are near.
Hear the pulse of the music that livens our lives all our years.
Hear the pulse of the heartbeat that joins us as one without fear.
Hear the pulse.

And then someday, when we are old and gone gray,
and I know there is no way to turn the clock back around,
then we'll look to the forest where you heard the invisible sound
of a pulse that's beyond us and bathing us all our days.
Hear the pulse.
