The rafters are creekin'
As night settles in
Somewhere a long siren cries
The wind in the chimney
Says 'I told you so'
These four walls still echo
'Goodbye'
Markin' each moment
Since you've been gone
The clock on the wall
Ticks like a bomb
I'm listening now
Like I never did before
Longing to hear your voice
once more
I'm listening now
If there's a whisper of hope
I hope you know
I'm listening now
You tried to tell me
We were driftin' apart
I wonder why I didn't hear it
Like thunder the warnings
Rang out until
they faded to silence and tears
I hear a car
slow down in the street
My heart starts to race
I jump to my feet
I'm listening now
Like I never did before
Longing to hear your voice
once more
I'm listening now
If there's a whisper of hope
I hope you know
Oh I'm listening now
Oh I'm listening now
If there's a whisper of hope
I hope you know
Oh I'm listening now
I'm listening now
I can hear you baby
Oh I'm listening now
