Morning people take the news

A paper window on a world

They live on undisturbed

Thoughts may fly like the lonely birds

And lost behind the silent words

Voices are unheard

Put it down to city life

Oh if i understood

Passing by so easily

I'd reach you if i could

Can you hear me

Can you hear me



Fly like a song, fly while you're singing

A song without you, is a bird without winging

Some city flights leave in the morning

Some city nights end without warning

Can you hear me call



Evening people see the day

A silhouette on every face

A shadow on their eyes

I take my place within the crowd

We walk the dusty streets around

Encompassing our lives



Put it down to city times

Oh if i understood

Passing by so casually

I'd reach you if i could

Can you hear me

Can you hear me



Fly like a song, fly while you're singing

A song without you, is a bird without winging

Some city flights leave in the morning

Some city nights end without warning

Can you hear me call

Can you hear me call

Can you hear me call



Instrumental



Calling to the sky

The thunder drowns my voice within the rain

And i know you're near me

And i call throughout the storm

I know that you don't hear me

I call your name

I call your name

I call your name



Can you hear me call your name

Can you hear me call

Hear me call your name

I call your name

I call your name

Can you hear me call your name



Instrumental



Night time people find it hard

To hear themselves above the noise

The music holds its own

I recognised a place i'd known

I turned to find it carved in stone

A mirrored smile alone



Put it down to city nights

Oh if i understood

Passing by so far from me

I'd reach you if i could

Can you hear me

Can you hear me



Fly like a song, fly while you're singing

A song without you, is a bird without winging

Some city flights leave in the morning

Some city nights end without warning

Can you hear me call

Can you hear me call

Can you hear me call
