Providence movie - What Do You Hear in These Sounds lyrics

rate me

Song by Dar Williams<br /><br>

I don't go to therapy to find out if I'm a freak<br>

I go and I find the one and only answer every week<br>

And it's just me and all the memories to follow <br>

Down any course that fits within a fifty minute hour<br>

And we fathom all the mysteries, explicit and inherent<br>

When I hit a rut, she says to try the other parent<br>

And she's so kind, I think she wants to tell me something, <br>

But she knows that its much better if I get it for myself...<br>

And she says<br>

<br>

Oooooooh,aaaaaaah, What do you hear in these sounds? <br>

And... Oooooooh,aaaaaaah<br>

What do you hear in these sounds?????<br>

<br>

I say I hear a doubt, with the voice of true believing<br>

And the promises to stay, and the footsteps that are leaving<br>

And she says "Oh", I say "What?"...she says "Exactly",<br>

I say"What, you think I'm angry<br>

Does that mean you think I'm angry?"<br>

She says "Look, you come here every week<br>

With jigsaw pieces of your past<br>

Its all on little soundbytes and voices out of photographs<br>

And that's all yours, that's the guide, that's the map<br>

So tell me, where does the arrow point to? <br>

WHO INVENTED ROSES?"<br>

and.......<br>

<br>

Oooooooh,aaaaaaah<br>

What do you hear in these sounds? <br>

And...Oooooooh,aaaaaaah<br>

What do you hear in these sounds?????<br>

<br>

And when I talk about therapy, I know what people think<br>

That it only makes you selfish and in love with your shrink<br>

But Oh how I loved everybody else<br>

When I finally got to talk so much about myself............ <br>

<br>

And I wake up and I ask myself what state I'm in<br>

And I say well I'm lucky, cause I am like East Berlin<br>

I had this wall and what I knew of the free world<br>

Was that I could see their fireworks<br>

And I could hear their radio<br>

And I thought that if we met, I would only start confessing<br>

And they'd know that I was scared<br>

They'd would know that I was guessing<br>

But the wall came down and there they stood before me<br>

With their stumbling and their mumbling<br>

And their calling out just like me...and...<br>

<br>

Oooooooh,aaaaaaah, The stories that nobody hears...and...<br>

<br>

Oooooooh,aaaaaaah, and I collect these sounds in my ears...and<br>

<br>

Oooooooh,aaaaaaah, that's what I hear in these sounds...and...<br>

<br>

Oooooooh,aaaaaaah, that's what I hear in these......<br>

that's what I hear in these SOUU OUUUN NNNDS!<br>

<br>
