I'm playing my guitar while my sister bangs the jar   The glass sets up a sound like people laughin'   It's goin' to my brain and it's easin' all my pain   I must hear this sound again 'cause time is passing      I'm walkin' by the sea and the shingle sings for me   The crabs are swimmin' down amongst the starfish   The rocks all clatter down and the seagulls fly around   But the whole trip rubs it in that time is passing      Find it, I've got to hear it all again   My heart has heard the sound of harmony   Blind to it, as my tears fall again   But it's only by the music, I'll be free      There's somethin' in the whisper of the trees   Millions hear it, still they can't believe   There are echoes of it splashin' in the waves   As an empire of dead men leave their graves      Don't listen to people talk, oh, to 'em sellin' souls   Don't listen to me or words from men above   Don't hear it in your needs and don't hear it in your greeds   Just hear it in the sound of time a-passing      Find it, I've got to hear it all again   My heart has heard the sound of harmony   Blind to it, as my tears fall again   But it's only by the music, I'll be free
