Sandy Denny - For Nobody to Hear lyrics

Although the flames they are so dim

I can see them from over here.

But this is no time to worry now

No time to shed a tear.

The people are all smiling

And the letters are all too

The flowers they are all arranged

And the notes they are all blue.

Where are the words to say to you

Where do they all begin.

I should not have a lot to lose

And everything to win.

And I want you to be smiling

I want you not to cry.

And even if I hide away

Then you'll get the notion why.

A symphony I learnt at school

In pigeonholes so clear

But it made me for to write no songs

For nobody to hear.

And I see you are all smiling

Even in the candle light.

Just close your eyes and fall asleep

And I think you'll be alright.

Close your eyes and fall asleep

And I think you'll be alright.
