Can You Hear Me Now

If I closed my eyes
 Would it all subside
 To an echo in the night
 Of a distant fading light
 Then a stranger's silhouette
 A burning cigarette
 And somewhere in the haze
 A passage through the maze
 Can you hear me now
 Or are there just too many doors
 Between then and now
 For me to ever reach on through
 Pull you back somehow
 That don't happen anymore
 Still in the night
 I think I hear you calling
 I have walked this stage
 As the music played
 They knew every word
 But they never heard
 For they never changed
 It's all very strange
 As I'm standing here
 Contemplating years
 Can you hear me now
 Are there just too many doors
 Between then and now
 For me to ever reach on through
 And pull you back somehow
 Well that don't happen anymore
 Still in the night
 I swear I hear you calling
 Can you hear me now
 Are there just too many doors
 Between then and now
 For me to ever reach on through
 And pull you back somehow
 But that don't happen anymore
 Still in the night
 I think I hear you calling
