  • I want to be with you
    I want to be clear
    But each time I try
    It's the voice I hear
    I hear that voice again

    I'm listening to the conversation
    Judge and jury in my head
    It's coloring everything
    All we did and said
    And still I head that sharp tongue talking
    Talking tangled words
    I can sense the danger
    Just listen to the wind

    I want you close I want you near
    I can't help but listen
    But I don't want to hear
    Hear that voice again

    I want to be with you
    I want to be clear
    But each time I try
    It's the voice I hear
    I hear that voice again

    I'm hearing right and wrong so clearly
    There must be more than this
    It's only in uncertainty
    That we're naked and alive
    I hear it through the rattle of a streetcar
    Hear it through the things you said
    I can get so scared
    Listen to the wind

    I want you close I want you near
    I can't help but listen
    But I don't want to hear
    Hear that voice again

    What I carry in my heart
    Brings us so close or so far apart
    Only love can make love

    I want you close I want you near
    I can't help but listen
    But I don't want to hear
    I hear that voice again

    I want to be with you
    I want to be clear
    But each time I try
    It's the voice I hear
    I hear that voice again Writer/s: DAVID RHODES, PETER GABRIEL
