Emmylou Harris - Can You Hear Me Now Lyrics

(Emmylou Marris/Malcolm Burn)

O the walls are closin' in I can feel it in my bones

Like water risin' up to my chin

Another long night to be alone

I could go out on the town

Talk too much and laugh too loud

If I'm already on my way down

I might as well just work the crowd

Can you hear me now

O the stories I could teil

Sometimes I really hit my stride

We make our own Heaven and our own Heil

Tryin' to get across to the other side

But everyday ends up the same

One step up two steps back

Like some old silent movie frame

Zoom in close then fade to black

Can you hear me now

How did the load get to be

So heavy I used to wear my troubie like a crown

A bad flood's poundin' on the levee

And l'm gonna need some help

To hold my groundBut I'm sinkin' like a stone

To where in solitude this life I'll spend

In the coldest place I've ever known

I'm here just waitin' until the end I send up my S.O.S.

A message in a bottle set out to sea It just reads "Soul in distress"

But nobody ever got back to me Can you hear me now
