Hidden In The Walls (Rain Quintet Part V)

Hidden In The Walls

 

If you listen, hidden in the walls

You can hear the subtle voice that calls

I am standing here, I will not let you down

Just turn around, Just turn around

 

You wake up with the morning sun

You step outside for that early run

The fields are wet and glistening

The wind is calm and listening

 

There is splash of flowers near you

Bright and shining with the dew

You can feel your body start to glow

You can feel your heart start to grow

 

It's been a long time since you felt this way

It's been a long time since you came this way

You turn at the junction and start home

You smile to think of coffee and foam

 

If you listen hidden in the walls

You can hear the subtle voice that calls

I am standing here, I will not let you down

Just turn around, just turn around

 

You run a little harder, picking up the pace
On that empty road you find a piece of grace
You hear a lone guitar softly in your ear
Fingers on forgotten chords so far and so near

 

You remember what it felt like to love

As you watch the crows swirling up above

One again your feet are swift and sure

As if you found the philosophers cure

 

You've got miles to go and you know it

You've got years on you and you show it

But it doesn't really matter any more

You're ready to open that long sealed door

 

If you listen hidden in the walls

You can hear the subtle voice that calls

I am standing here, I will not let you down

Just turn around, just turn around
