can you listen? Lyrics

Running in time to the quicksand beat

So far away from the valley heat

The waves have a story to tell if you just listen

So you get the lake under your feet

The sun goes down, so it's time to eat

Off in the distance

The moon, on his ashes, glisten

The breeze will blow his name

And you just lost the game

You tried to play

On a raincoat's sunny day

As long as we remember, they don't go away

Can you listen?

Can you listen

To the words that he would say:

"Everything will be okay

Just not today"

Running around, like we own the town

Playing the lost and found

Sunburned as heck, with a ring on my neck

We capsized and laughed off the deck

Now that age is dead and gone

Here we are in another song

I thought that it was done, I guess I'm wrong

So here I am, sitting on the beach

Listen to the words that the seagulls teach

I put my arms out high, but I can't reach

The games we try to play

I can feel a distant day

As long as we remember, he don't go away

Can you listen?

Can you listen

To the words that he would say:

"Everything will be okay"

Can you listen?

Can you listen

To the words that he would say:

"Everything will be okay"
