The Sound of Sound

Robyn Hitchcock · Luxor [2003]

It's all in your eyes

It's all in your eyes

For you will never hear

The sound of sound



The water flows onto the town

And drowns you on the dune

To wash away the song you play

And mold away the tune



But I'll remember you

That's what hurts

I'll remember you



The water flows

Like a child it betrays you

Like a child it escapes you

Like an adult it can help you

Like an adult it can rape you



So build me a cloud

Build me a cloud

For I will never hear

The sound of sound
