when i was young i thought i was the only one who couldn t get to sleep at night cause i heard that sound i looked outside opened up my window wide shook away the dark and cried can you hear that sound there was no one else around i put my ear down to the ground i know i was young but that won t do in the meantime can you hear that lonely sound i grabbed my clothes scrambled all the radios looked at where the compass knows but the needle kept on spinning and when the bell rang it was ringing in an unknown slang and it sounded like a song we sang when we were young there was no one else around i put my ear down to the ground i know i was young but that won t do in the meantime can you hear that lonely sound hey hey i know i was young but that won t do in the meantime can you hear that lonely sound there was no one else around i put my ear down to the ground i know i was young but that won t do in the meantime can you hear it
