She Makes a Sound

Eternal afternoons lying there and listening
We're making plans for someone else to come
So how much freedom we got left?
Just enough to grab a coffee in the square

Suddenly bells go clang, sweat scared in a taxi cab
Then the quiet words are not enough
And I am waiting for some sign
For the man I am will change before it's light
There's gonna be miracles tonight

She makes a sound like I've never heard
Every move you make you've never made
But only if I hold you tight
Will you understand the chaos has an end

Stumbling through that door, somebody ripped up the rules
All the paper cups and paperbacks
They bow their heads and hear that sound
And they know they got a new place right in this life
Never thought it would be so right

She makes a sound like I've never heard
It's a cry that says "hey now now you better watch out world"
She makes a sound and I'm bright and clear
Hold away that pain - kiss away that fear

Now is the best of times, little dictionary girl
Every moment like a harvesting
But autumn just can't seem to end
And the universe contracts into her smile
And she will sing to me a while

She makes a sound like I've never heard
It's a cry that says
"You better watch out world!"
