I Heard You Singing - Quicksilver Messenger Service

I heard you singing
What were you singing when the people got right
Were you singing Stand and Deliver
Or was it Down by the River
Were you singing a fine old tune like Gone to Glory
Laying it down with grace and power
Long about the midnight hour
I heard the people all singing
Like they'd never sung before
All over the country
Who could help but stand beside you
Hello hello is there anybody here
My knuckles are sore from rapping all day
I said：Give me one more chance
I'd do it for you if I had your way
If I had your way
What do I know What do I see
Don't know nothing but the name of the game
It's high card draw with everything wild
You bet your life like anyone's child
What else would you want to do
I heard the people all singing
Like they never sung before
Singing in key and strumming
Everything they heard from you
Hello hello hello hello goodbye
Looking back across the years
Other matters disappear
In the murmur I can hear
Familiar voices loud and clear
Hello hello hello hello goodbye
I heard you singing
Like one last song in the middle of the night
Were you singing in tongues of fire
Or was it knots of anger
Were you singing a fine old tune like
Love Me Love Me Love Me Only
Were you caught btween the curtains
Thinking this was too uncertain
Remember the people were singing
Like they never sung before
All over the country
Did you love the way they loved you
Ain't no knocker on the last big door
Just push on the panel and walk on in
Hello hello is there anybody here
But a two bit high and a busted mirror
Hello hello is anybody here
My tongue is so sore from rapping all day
Sunshine in the dead on night
I know that can't be right
Could it be I don't know
But it never done that thing before
So close to my own back door
It got me wondering what to do
And the only thing was to come and tell you
Because I heard you singing I heard you
