lyrics

I dragged the wireless up the stairs,
brass telescope against the pane,
tuned past the shipping and the prayers
to something singing in the rain.

The kettle whistles in B-flat.
The universe approves of that.

I hear it now, I hear it now,
the hum beneath the here and how,
I hear it now, I hear it now,
it tunes my blood, it wets my brow,
and it sounds like joy, and it sounds like yes —
I hear it now, I confess.

My tea leaves settled in a chord,
the cat is staring at the wall.
Whatever's coming through that board
knows my name, and knows us all.

I hear it now, I hear it now,
the hum beneath the here and how,
I hear it now, I hear it now,
it tunes my blood, it wets my brow,
and it sounds like joy, and it sounds like yes —
I hear it now, I confess.

Past the news and the weather warning,
past the hymns and the marching bands,
there's a station broadcasting morning
to anyone with open hands.

I hear it now, I hear it now,
the hum beneath the here and how,
I hear it now, I hear it now,
it tunes my blood, it wets my brow,
and it sounds like joy, and it sounds like yes —
I hear it now, I confess.

I hear it now...
Do you hear it too?
