Lyrics for What Do You Hear In These Sounds by Dar Williams:
| | | Artist: | Dar Williams |
| | Album: | End Of The Summer | | Track: | What Do You Hear In These Sounds | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 87 | | | | Lyrics: | I don't go to therapy to find out if I'm a freak
I go and I find the one and only answer every
week
And it's just me and all the memories to follow
Down any course that fits within a
fifty minute hour
And we fathom all the mysteries, explicit and inherent
When I hit a rut,
she says to try the other parent
And she's so kind, I think she wants to tell me
something,
But she knows that its much better if I get it for myself...
And she
says
What do you hear in these sounds?
What do you hear in these
sounds?
I say I hear a doubt, with the voice of true believing
And the promises to
stay, and the footsteps that are leaving
And she says "Oh," I say, "What?" she says,
"Exactly,"
I say, "What, you think I'm angry
Does that mean you think I'm angry?"
She
says "Look, you come here every week
With jigsaw pieces of your past
Its all on little
soundbytes and voices out of photographs
And that's all yours, that's the guide, that's the
map
So tell me, where does the arrow point to?
Who invented
roses?"
and...
What do you hear in these sounds?
What do you hear in these
sounds?
And when I talk about therapy, I know what people think
That it only makes
you selfish and in love with your shrink
But oh how I loved everybody else
When I finally
got to talk so much about myself...
And I wake up and I ask myself what state I'm
in
And I say well I'm lucky, 'cause I am like East Berlin
I had this wall and what I knew
of the free world
Was that I could see their fireworks
And I could hear their
radio
And I thought that if we met, I would only start confessing
And they'd know that I
was scared
They'd would know that I was guessing
But the wall came down and there they
stood before me
With their stumbling and their mumbling
And their calling out just like
me, and...
The stories that nobody hears, and...
I collect these sounds in my
ears, and...
That's what I hear in these sounds, and...
That's what I hear in
these,
That's what I hear in these sounds | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
