"I Hear Her Playing Music"


I hear her playing music
in her room alone at night

she just moved in a month ago
she isn't gonna play the game
I thought she'd smile
and come on slow
I still don't even know her name
she must like being lonely
got no time for anyone
but I hear her play that stereo
right through to the rising sun

I hear her playing music
in her room alone at night
through the day she's so elusive
staying safe and out of sight
if you say hello she lets it go
cool and so polite
and I hear her playing music
in her room alone at night

baby are you sad and lonely
or did somebody do you wrong
cause you know that you need only
look my way
and they'll play our song
and I love your nightly music
but you can't keep playing through
cause I'm having trouble sleeping
and when I do I dream of you

I thought I'd try
and break the freeze
and win her heart with harmony
so I answered back
and played a stack
of my favorite CD's
but she just doesn't hear me
doesn't have a word to say
so I stay awake and turn it up
hoping she'll look out my way

I hear her playing music
in her room alone at night
through the day she's so elusive
staying safe and out of sight
if you say hello she lets it go
cool and so polite
and I hear her playing dave koz!
in her room alone at night
in her room alone at night
baby are you sad and lonley
baby won't you tell me your name
I'm in my room alone at night
your in your room alone at night
