I Hear a Symphony Songtext

von Pizzicato Five

Lovers never
Have time enough
They want to meet
But keep passing each other
In the street
And if they finally
Manage to meet
They don't manage
To tell each other
What is
Most important

When they talk
On the phone
There's those
Disturbing silences
And sudden interruptions
I try to listen carefully to
What you say
(it's so distant) and
Feel happy with the insignificant
Things you say
That's a symphony
For lovers

Time goes faster
Than all those
People running
I hear a song
From somewhere
A song I had long forgotten
The two lovers try to
Listen to it carefully

The words lovers
Whisper to each other
And the song
Someone is humming
As he walks
In the streets
All this gets
Mingled and
Becomes
A symphony
For lovers

Time goes faster
Than all those
People running
The sound of the subway
And a song
I had long forgotten
The two lovers
Are listening carefully

Today
Another couple will
Be formed
Another couple
Will break up
If I ever
See you again
I'll tell you
Everything

Can you hear?
This symphony
For lovers
