Paroles de « Everybody Tuning »

Intro: solo oboe

Verse

I put my head down on the desk and I fell fast asleep
And the office was a concert hall and everyone a band
Every coworker was holding up an instrument in hand
There was Linda with a tuba and the intern with a grand
And the boss was on the triangle, which nobody had planned
And they all began to play at once, a racket wide and deep
Like a hundred alarm clocks in a field of nervous sheep
And I couldn't hear myself at all, not even in my sleep

Chorus

Everybody tuning
It isn't noise, it's only just before the song
Every violin is looking for the place where it belongs
Every one of us is reaching for a note that isn't wrong
We were never really fighting, we were tuning all along
Everybody tuning
Every heart and every string
Listening for the one clear note the oboe's gonna sing

Verse

Then somebody in the middle stood and played a note so clear
Just a single little A, not too high and not too low
And the tuba and the triangle both stopped to let it grow
And the violins leaned over like the wheat when breezes blow
And the note went down the hall like little candles in a row
It was easy, it was easy, it was waiting right here
All we ever had to do was stop and lend an ear
And the music made of everyone began to appear

Chorus

Bridge

And then I woke
And the office was as noisy as a playground on a hill
Every phone was ringing, every kettle singing on the sill
But I heard it like a waltz now, and I heard it with goodwill
Like an orchestra before the lights go down and all is still
So I turned to Linda at her desk and very softly spoke
Just a single little A, as gentle as a brushstroke
And she found it, oh, she found it, and the music woke

Chorus
