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
