Emmylou Harris - Can You Hear Me Now Lyrics
O the walls are closin' in I can feel it in my bonesLike water risin' up to my chinAnother long night to be aloneI could go out on the townTalk too much and laugh too loudIf I'm already on my way downI might as well just work the crowdCan you hear me nowO the stories I could teilSometimes I really hit my strideWe make our own Heaven and our own HeilTryin' to get across to the other sideBut everyday ends up the sameOne step up, two steps backLike some old silent movie frameZoom in close, then fade to blackCan you hear me nowHow did the load get to beso heavy I used to wear my troubie like a crownA bad flood's poundin' on the leveeAnd l'm gonna need some helpTo hold my groundBut I'm sinkin' like a stoneTo where in solitude this life I'll spendIn the coldest place I've ever knownI'm here just waitin' until the end I send up my S.O.S.A message in a bottle set out to sea It just reads
