A Little Voice in Space Songtext

von Jackie Leven

I see you got a ring on your finger
I see the shining stone
Gleaming in this deepest winter
Like an eternity of snow

And I remember this pasture
I saw true lovers confess
Tears are running like two rivers
Travellers in their last distress
Travellers in their last distress

And no matter where you go
No matter what you do
Keep a little bitof me in your heart
I loved you so

And I hear young women laughing
As they're driving thru warm towns
I hear them laughing one to the other
Driving with the car roof down

And they turn left at a green light
To destinations unknown
I see the rings upon their fingers
I see the shining stone
And bells upon their toes

And they shall have music
Wherever they go

And I hear the big wheels turning
I hear a little voice in space
I see men counting out money
In the crowded market place

And I hear ancient women singing
In the outer Hebrides
Songs of work and love and ocean
Down the salted centuries
Down the salted centuries

And there's a wild man at the station
On the high snowbound plain
And he stands alone in silence
Waiting for the morning train
And I remember this pasture
In a summer afternoon haze
Confessions of true love
The promise of that very day
The promise of that very day
Surely some healing is at hand
The very motion of that land

How I fish I could fly
Where no one sees me
Behind the ray of light
Leaving no trace

But you ? Let the light encircle you
That's the one happiness
Learn from a star the meaning of light

If it's a ray, if it's light
That's only because
The whisper and chatter of lovers
Strengthen and warm it

And I want to tell yo
That I'm whispering
I'm giving you to the ray
Little one, in whispers
