Morning people take the news
   A paper window on a world
   They live on undisturbed
   Thoughts may fly like the lonely birds
   And lost behind the silent words
   Voices are unheard
   Put it down to city life
   Oh if I understood
   Passing by so easily
   I'd reach you if I could
   Can you hear me
   Can you hear me
  
   Fly like a song, fly while you're singing
   A song without you, is a bird without winging
   Some city flights leave in the morning
   Some city nights end without warning
   Can you hear me call
  
   Evening people see the day
   A silhouette on every face
   A shadow on their eyes
   I take my place within the crowd
   We walk the dusty streets around
   Encompassing our lives
  
   Put it down to city times
   Oh if I understood
   Passing by so casually
   I'd reach you if I could
   Can you hear me
   Can you hear me
  
   Fly like a song, fly while you're singing
   A song without you, is a bird without winging
   Some city flights leave in the morning
   Some city nights end without warning
   Can you hear me call
   Can you hear me call
   Can you hear me call
  
   [Instrumental]
  
   Calling to the sky
   The thunder drowns my voice within the rain
   And I know you're near me
   And I call throughout the storm
   I know that you don't hear me
   I call your name
   I call your name
   I call your name
  
   Can you hear me call your name
   Can you hear me call
   Hear me call your name
   I call your name
   I call your name
   Can you hear me call your name
  
   [Instrumental]
  
   Night time people find it hard
   To hear themselves above the noise
   The music holds its own
   I recognised a place I'd known
   I turned to find it carved in stone
   A mirrored smile alone
  
   Put it down to city nights
   Oh if I understood
   Passing by so far from me
   I'd reach you if I could
   Can you hear me
   Can you hear me
  
   Fly like a song, fly while you're singing
   A song without you, is a bird without winging
   Some city flights leave in the morning
   Some city nights end without warning
   Can you hear me call
   Can you hear me call
   Can you hear me call
