Talking

Lyrics by Sarah McNeil

Melody by Peter Hutchings

Tinderbox

Talk to me, I want to hear your voice,

Talk to me, I want to know who you are and

what you’re thinking of. Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me.

Who can hear me talking when there’s such a lot of noise?

Shopping in the supermarket,who could hear my voice?

Walking all the way to schoolThe busy traffic roared,Making it impossible to hear a single word.

Talk to me, I want to hear your voice,

Talk to me, I want to know who you are and

what you’re thinking of. Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me.

Who can hear the birdsong When the wind blows in the trees?

Who can hear the fishes talk In angry, lashing seas?

When I talk at night the television drowns my words.

Sometimes it just seems to me that no one can be heard.

Talk to me, I want to hear your voice,

Talk to me, I want to know who you are and

what you’re thinking of. Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me.

Talking in the playground, I will tell you if I may,

What my hamster had for teaand where I’d like to play.

How I spend my money, and if you will talk to me,

We can share our thinkingTalking secrets secretly.

Talk to me, I want to hear your voice,

Talk to me, I want to know who you are and

what you’re thinking of. Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me.
