Lyrics

"Hear the Pulse (Street Corner Version)"
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh

When I see you, you're not looking around,
and I know that you're listening to some sound
far away I can see...you might follow me
and we'll go where the birds are singing in the trees.
Hear the pulse.

When I hear you whispering in my ear,
and your cheek is so consolingly near,
and your eyes full of play, like a summer day,
and we know where we're going cause we're going far away.
Hear the pulse.

I can see the world and I might feel down.
You take me in your arms and I'm so in love with you.

Hear the pulse of the ocean waves.
Hear the pulse of the heart in your chest.
Hear the pulse of the songs that dance in your mind all your days.
Hear the pulse of the planet, the moon, and the stars.
Hear the pulse.

And then someday, when we are old and gone gray,
and I know that the clock can't turn back around,
then we'll look to the trees where you heard the invisible sound
of a pulse that's beyond us and bathing all our days.
Hear the pulse.
