lyrics

I heard a strange kind of music
It followed me around all day long
A kind of sobbing and sighing, like somebody crying
A sad and familiar old song
The sound of love when it’s gone

Night birds have their own tunes
The beats and the bass shake the ground
Dancing with strangers, ringing in the changes
But there’s no love in the longing downtown
When love’s gone, this is how it sounds

I thought I was hungry, so I ate a little food
Thought I was thirsty, so I had a drink or two
But nothing does the trick,
There’s still something missing
When I think of you I realize
I’m just learning how to listen
Learning how to listen

Now the phone won’t be ringing
Your keys won’t turn in the lock
One broken heart beats in the darkness
One girl wishes it didn’t belong
To the sound of love when it’s gone
