Peter Gabriel - That Voice Again lyrics

I wanna be with you, I wanna be clear
But each time I try, it's the voice I hear
I hear that voice again

Oh, I'm listening to the conversation
Judge and jury in my head
It's colouring everything
All we did and said

And still I hear that sharp tongue talking
Talking tangled words i can sense the danger
Just listen to the wind

I want you close, I want you near
I can't help but listen
But I don't wanna hear hear that voice again

And I wanna be with you, I wanna be clear
But each time I try, it's the voice I hear
I hear that voice again

Oh, I'm hearing right and wrong so clearly
There must be more than this
It's only in uncertainty

That we're naked and alive
I hear it through the rattle of a streetcar
Hear it through the things you said
I can get so scared listen to the wind

I want you close, I want you near
I can't help but listen
But I don't want to hear
Hear that voice again

What I carry in my heart
Brings us so close or so far apart
Only love can make love

And I want you close and I want you near
I can't help but listen
But I don't wanna hear
I hear that voice again

I wanna be with you, I wanna be clear
But each time I try, it's the voice I hear
I hear that voice again
