Lyrics
I looked into your cryin’ eyes today,
And not a thing did I learn,
But threw some words against that hard window pane,
And again and again they fell to the earth.
You look right through me when I call out your name,
I touch your shoulder, you turn,
I saw two lips moving, and you saw the same,
But the thunder and rain were all that we heard.
Oh so far, back to the start,
Were two hearts,
That looked a lot like you and me, but now all the mirror sees…
Is it’s another day in Babel,
We don’t understand each other at all,
Just another day in babel,
In tongues we talk for hours, waiting for the tower to fall.
Hiding your emotions like they put you to shame,
Has got me tryin’ to read all the signs,
But like a letter that was left in the rain,
There remains just a stain where once there were lines,
(PC)
(Chorus)
It’s only love, girl! Oh, how hard can it be?
Why don’t you talk to me!
I called your number, it said, ‘Please leave your name,
And a few words why you called.’
I said, ‘Do you remember me, your joy and your pain,
‘Cause again and again I’ve wished since you walked…
For another day in Babel,
Though we don’t understand each other at all,
For another day in Babel,
Just another day in Babel,
We don’t understand each other at all,
Another day in Babel,
Oh, how hard can it be?
