lyrics

Is anybody out there?
Do you hear my song?
Is anybody out there keeping on?
Is anybody out there or down below?
Would you trade the life that you have had for one that you don’t know?

Is anybody out there?
Do you understand?
Or will I have to teach you how to hold my hand?
I’ll do what I have to for us to meet.
And when we do I promise you I’ll be discreet.

I bet the stars look like stars in your city too
I bet the rain looks like rain from your point of view
I’ll take the time I haven’t spent and save that time for you
Baby Blue

I’ve met all kinds of people
They’re all the same...
A series of decisions and a name.
I wonder what your name is and if you will
Like the house we live in up on Cherry Hill.

I bet the stars look like stars in your city too
I bet the rain looks like rain from your point of view
I’ll take the time I haven’t spent and save that time for you
Baby Blue

There’s a dead skunk on the highway outside San Antone.
He never had a family and he died all alone.
Maybe he didn’t want one...maybe he didn’t try....
Or maybe they’re all waiting for him in the by-and-by.

I bet the stars look like stars in your city too
I bet the rain looks like rain from your point of view
I’ll take the time I haven’t spent and save that time for you
Baby Blue
