Somebody Told Me Lyrics - Singles - The Magic Lantern

Somebody told me, 

That you walked 

All the way here, 

Just to find me, 

But now youre here, 

Weve got nothing to say. 

Fear and insecurity, 

Stole away our dreams 

But your face sings songs id love to hear 

But I dont know what it means 

Should I take your hand and pick you up 

And walk off in the sun? 

Or we sit in silence and drink our tea, 

Then turn our backs to run? 

Well never know 

Well never try 

Were growing old and soon well die. 

Cos somebody told me 

That you smile 

All through the day time 

But you cry at night 

When youre alone 

Cos youve got no one to hold. 

Life and love can come and go 

Or leave us in the cold 

But well freeze to death before we see 

What cant be bought and sold 

Should we sing these songs of innocence 

Or just close our eyes and hope? 

That a better world is possible 

If we rise above the smoke? 

Well never know 

Well never try 

Were growing old and soon well die. 

Somebody told me, 

That they saw, 

You from afar 

And that youd grown old 

And when you died 

That thered be no one to cry 

We move so fast we can hardly see 

Where we want to go 

But we float like leaves and an autumn breeze 

We ebb and then we flow 

Should we stamp our feet and raise our fists 

And fight against the tide? 

Or we bow our heads and slowly drowned 

Because we never tried? 

Well never know 

Well never try 

Were growing old and soon well die. 

Well never know 

Well never try 

Were growing old and soon well die. 

Somebody told me, 

That you walked 

All the way here, 

Just to find me, 

But now youre here, 

Weve got nothing to say.
