Can You Hear Me Now

If I closed my eyes

Would it all subside

To an echo in the night

Of a distant fading light

Then a stranger's silhouette

A burning cigarette

And somewhere in the haze

A passage through the maze

Can you hear me now

Or are there just too many doors

Between then and now

For me to ever reach on through

Pull you back somehow

That don't happen anymore

Still in the night

I think I hear you calling

I have walked this stage

As the music played

They knew every word

But they never heard

For they never changed

It's all very strange

As I'm standing here

Contemplating years

Can you hear me now

Are there just too many doors

Between then and now

For me to ever reach on through

And pull you back somehow

Well that don't happen anymore

Still in the night

I swear I hear you calling

Can you hear me now

Are there just too many doors

Between then and now

For me to ever reach on through

And pull you back somehow

But that don't happen anymore

Still in the night

I think I hear you calling
