Hearing Things

Hearing Things
B. Sheffield - Copyright 2006 - (from the album) In Other Words...

       Last night, as I lay in the darkness
                I thought I heard the voice of my old friend.
       But I knew that I must have been mistaken.
                I guess I'm only hearing things again.
 

       There's a sound like a tapping on my window.
                It's gone when I pull back the blinds.
        There's a glass and a bottle on the table,
                It's the only consolation I can find.


        I can't explain all these sounds that I hear
                But they seem to just go on and on.
         And the whisper of her breathing against my ear,
                 Has been a memory for too long. 


         Last night, I awoke from my slumber,
                It sounded like a key turned in my door.
         And my heart nearly jumped right from my body.
                I guess it's just the wind and nothing more.


        
I can't explain all these sounds that I hear
                But they seem to just go on and on.
         And the whisper of her breathing against my ear,
                 Has been a memory for too long. 


         The clock there (ticking) on the mantle
                Only serves to recall how long it's been,
         And as I lie here waiting in the darkness,
                 I guess I'm only hearing things again. 

          Hearing things...
                 Hearing things...
                         Hearing things.
