Lyrics
Playing my guitar while my sister bangs the jar
The glass sets up a sound like people laughing
It's going to my brain and it's easing all my pain
I must hear this sound again 'cause time is passing
I'm walking by the sea and the shingle sings for me
The crabs are swimming down among the starfish
The rocks all clatter down and the seagulls fly around
But the whole trip rubs it in that time is passing
Find it, I got to hear it all again
My heart has heard the sound of harmony
Blind to it, as my tears fall again
But it's only by the music, I'll be free
Something in the whisper of the trees
Millions hear it, still they can't believe
There are echoes of it splashing in the wave
As an empire of dead men leave their graves
Don't listen to people talk, or to 'em selling souls
Don't listen to me or words from men above
Don't hear it in your needs, don't hear it in your greeds
Just hear it in the sound of time a-passing
Find it, I got to hear it all again
My heart has heard the sound of harmony
Blind to it, as my tears fall again
But it's only by the music, I'll be free
For our price on that, it'll probably be, uh, released as a single, very shortly
It's a bit, uh, atypical, of The old Who single, but...
It's one we just feel somehow right about and we'll play it for you now and hope you feel the same way
It's called, "Behind Blue Eyes", ah
