Talking
Lyrics by Sarah McNeil
Melody by Peter Hutchings
Tinderbox
Talk to me,
I want to hear your voice,
Talk to me,
I want to know who you are and
what you’re thinking of.
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me.
Who can hear me talking when
there’s such a lot of noise?
Shopping in the supermarket,
who could hear my voice?
Walking all the way to school
The busy traffic roared,
Making it impossible
to hear a single word.
Talk to me,
I want to hear your voice,
Talk to me,
I want to know who you are and
what you’re thinking of.
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me.
Who can hear the birdsong
When the wind blows in the trees?
Who can hear the fishes talk
In angry, lashing seas?
When I talk at night the television
drowns my words.
Sometimes it just seems to me that
no one can be heard.
Talk to me,
I want to hear your voice,
Talk to me,
I want to know who you are and
what you’re thinking of.
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me.
Talking in the playground, I will
tell you if I may,
What my hamster had for tea
and where I’d like to play.
How I spend my money, and if
you will talk to me,
We can share our thinking
Talking secrets secretly.
Talk to me,
I want to hear your voice,
Talk to me,
I want to know who you are and
what you’re thinking of.
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me.
