Lyrics

the answer


it might be in the singing of the ocean
ii might in the whisper of the night
but I can?t hear it in the words that you?ve been speaking
I can?t see it in the secrets of your eye

it?s not there in the hissing of wet tyres
it?s not there in the anger of a train
and it?s nowhere to be found in all my reading
so I guess I?ll have to look again

and I looked over there
and I sat on your chair
drank a glass of your sweet wine
and I looked in my head
and I searched through my heart
but the answer just can?t be found

it might be in a solitary moment
it might be in the falling of a bird
it may well be in the wind that sweeps the desert
but it ain?t in anything I?ve heard
from you
