Soul Song

The first time I saw you
I heard you sing your soul song
You sang it with your eyes closed
You opened up to meet me
I asked you what you saw there
Why’d you look so troubled?
You never looked up cause you’re scared
You walk through crowded rooms
That feel so empty ’cause no one can see you
No they don’t see you cry

I still hear your soul song
And I might make it better
I’d rewrite it if I could
Send it back in love letters

I tell you it’s a cold road
I know because I lived there
Mix-up in direction
Now I can’t find love anywhere
But you I know so well
Rumours and lies are the load that you carry
And now you’ve held out for too long

I still hear your soul song
And I might make it better
I’d rewrite it if I could
Send it back in love letters

I know you can hear me
I’m singing in the distance
Dancing with my eyes closed
Can you heal me? Can we change?

I still hear your soul song
And I can make it better
I’d rewrite it yes I would
Send it back in love letters

I still hear your soul song
And I can make it better
I’d rewrite it yes I would
Send it back in love letters

The first time I saw you
I heard you sing your soul song
You sang it with your eyes closed
