(I thought I heard somebody cry-- 
I though I heard somebody cry) 
I went to see what I could find 
Like flowers in the dead of night 
Like shadows in the moonlight-- 
I though I heard somebody cry 
A choir with a single voice--A picnic on a cliff 
Antenna like an insect--To pick up all your thoughts 

CHORUS 
It isn't true 
I am not the ghost 
Without a soul . . . Come 
Listen to my heart 
You feel the beat . . . Stop 
Listen to the sound 
Of moving feet . . . Walk 
Through the halls at night 
When I'm asleep 
I don't believe . . .I don't believe 

The shoe is on the other foot--The glove is on the fist 
The first is like a cannonball--But it feels like a kiss 
I got a bed that's real soft--In a room that's always sad 
I thought I heard a window sigh-- 
I though I heard somebody cry 

CHORUS 

A choir with a single voice--a picnic on a cliff 
Antenna like an insect--To pick up all your thoughts 
I sip the running water--Like rivers from your eyes 
I thought I heard somebody cry--Somebody might be lost 
I thought I heard somebody cry--Somebody might be lost 
I thought I heard somebody cry--I thought I'd go and see 
I thought I heard somebody cry--Somebody might be me
