Listening Lyrics - Josh Joplin Group

And she lies quietly amid her empty room 

And probes her open heart to verify the wound 

She receives the phone call, she rewinds the message tape 

She walks to the window, lets her sweat pour down the fire escape 

I am listening to you, I am listening to you 

You don't say a word, you don't have to 

Frozen in the hour the thought of going on 

Feels real and unreal until the feeling's gone 

Like a boy who begs for bread, the snapshot is all there is 

To remind us of our place and return us to the hungry masses 

I am listening to you, I am listening to you 

You don't say a word 

And she lies motionless beneath the ceiling fan 

The blades become invisible and she becomes intransed 

No one knows the future and no one cares about the past 

When a star is dying we all cling to what cannot last 

I am listening to you, I am listening to you 

I am listening to you, I am listening to you
