Here We Are – Labi Siffre

Here we are, near or far from the places we’re going
Is there some way of knowing where we are?

Talk out loud to a cloud in the sky or a stranger
If you talk there’s a danger I might hear you

Should I believe what you say, believe what you mean?
Are the words that I hear they words that they seem?
Tell me how it will be, do I only hear me?

Here we are, near or far from the words to believe in
If you tell me you’re leaving will you always stay?

Here I am
Using words
Trying to say
Words don’t pay
