I Need to Hear My Own Songs

Glimpse of the sky through the clouds

Try to get something down, a melody sound

For tomorrow I'm sure to forget

Both the blue without end, and the song that I penned

But it seems that somewhere, there's a light on this air

There are words that are written for me

Sometimes I need to hear my own songs

When I can't find my way, lost in the night

I might need to remember my own songs

What you said to me

Once in the light

Dreams come to end and I wake

Can't remember my name, can't remember my place

So I sift through the words that I've heard

Through a thousand refrains, sung in thousands of strains

But the grace is that I can remember again

When I most need to know what I knew

Sometimes I need to hear my own songs

When I can't find my way, lost in the night

I might need to remember my own songs

What you said to me

Once in the light

Maybe we read and we write

Just to know that we're not alone

Sharing a burden made light

But if I was the only one listening, well I guess that's enough

Sometimes I need to hear my own songs

When I can't find my way, lost in the night

I might need to remember my own songs

What you said to me

Once in the light
