Lyrics
The Sound of Sound
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's all in your eyes
It's all in your eyes
For you will never hear
The sound of sound
The water flows onto the town
And drowns you on the dune
To wash away the song you play
And mold away the tune
But I'll remember you
That's what hurts
I'll remember you
The water flows
Like a child it betrays you
Like a child it escapes you
Like an adult it can help you
Like an adult it can rape you
So build me a cloud
Build me a cloud
For I will never hear
The sound of sound
