She Makes a Sound - Hue & Cry

Eternal afternoons — lying there and listening

We’re making plans for someone else to come

So how much freedom we got left?

Just enough to grab a coffee in the square

Suddenly bells go clang — sweat scared in a taxi cab

Then the quiet words are not enough

And I am waiting for some sign

For the man I am will change before it’s light

There’s gonna be miracles tonight

She makes a sound like I’ve never heard

Every move you make you’ve never made

But only if I hold you tight

Will you understand the chaos has an end

Stumbling through that door — somebody ripped up the rules

All the paper cups and paperbacks

They bow their heads and hear that sound

And they know they got a new place right in this life

Never thought it would be so right

She makes a sound like I’ve never heard

It’s a cry that says «hey now now you better watch out world»

She makes a sound and I’m bright and clear

Hold away that pain — kiss away that fear

Now is the best of times — little dictionary girl

Every moment like a harvesting

But autumn just can’t seem to end

And the universe contracts into her smile

And she will sing to me a while…

She makes a sound like I’ve never heard

It’s a cry that says

«You better watch out world!»
