I’m Listening Songtext
von Josh Ritter

No reason you should be listening to
Some lonely farmer′s daughter
Still I'll gather my thoughts around myself
Like the sand round my the desert fathers
And look between the stars at what isn′t til I find
The black hole that is waiting at the center of my mind
I listen
I listen
I'm listening


I'll wander in between the everlasting pillars
Holding up the dome
Of heaven that is waiting
High above our little home
Sifting through the static
I will try again tonight
To hear your voice through the snow and noise
If I listen I just might
I listen
I listen
I′m listening

But the signal′s not clear
Not coming in loud enough
Not coming in loud enough
For my little ears to hear
Til I'm finally shouting what
Have I been thinking of?

I′m busy writing down dreams
Going through everything
We could have if we'd had
Some other timeline in space
To love each line of your face
What could be better than that?

But the signal′s not clear
Not coming in loud enough
Not coming in loud enough
For my little ears to hear
Til I'm finally shouting what
Have I been thinking of?


No reason you should be listening to
Some lonely farmer′s daughter
Still I'll gather my thoughts around myself
Like the sand round my the desert fathers
I listen
I listen
I'm listening
