lyrics

'Have You Heard The Birds Sing In The Night?'

There is a sound like breathing in the night
In the quiet street
There is a sound like breathing in the night

There is a sound like music in the night
Where the trains meet
There is a sound like music in the night

And have you heard the cats call?
I thought it was a baby crying
Did you hear the caterwaul?
They were singing in harmony
They were having a street brawl
They were ducking and diving
And have you heard the birds sing in the night?

There are people moving in the night
While the city sleeps
There are people moving in the night

CHORUS

There are emus and prairies round here
But you can't see them for parked cars and traffic jams
Then when the night comes down
You can see it's a nice little turning

CHORUS

(©Rebecca Hollweg 1997)
