Lonely Sound

[Verse 1]
When I was young I thought I was the only one
Who couldn't get to sleep at night
'Cause I heard that sound
I looked outside
Opened up my window wide
Shook away the dark and cried
"Can you hear that sound?"

[Chorus]
There was no one else around
I put my ear down to the ground
I know I was young
But that won't do in the meantime
Can you hear that lonely sound?

[Verse 2]
I grabbed my clothes
Scrambled all the radios
Looked at where the compass knows
But the needle kept on spinning
And when the bell rang
It was ringing in an unknown slang
And it sounded like a song we sang
When we were young

[Chorus]
There was no one else around
I put my ear down to the ground
I know I was young
But that won't do in the meantime
Can you hear that lonely sound?

Hey, hey
I know I was young
But that won't do in the meantime
Can you hear that lonely sound?

There was no one else around
I put my ear down to the ground
I know I was young
But that won't do in the meantime
Can you hear it?
