That Voice Again Lyrics

I want to be with you
I want to be clear
But each time I try
It's the voice I hear
I hear That Voice Again

I'm listening to the conversation:
Judge and jury in my head
It's coloring everything
All we did and said
And still I head that sharp tongue talking
Talking tangled words
I can sense the danger
Just listen to the wind

I want you close I want you near
I can't help but listen
But I don't want to hear
Hear that voice again

I want to be with you
I want to be clear
But each time I try
It's the voice I hear
I hear that voice again

I'm hearing right and wrong so clearly
There must be more than this
It's only in uncertainty
That we're naked and alive
I hear it through the rattle of a streetcar
Hear it through the things you said
I can get so scared
Listen to the wind

I want you close I want you near
I can't help but listen
But I don't want to hear
Hear that voice again

What I carry in my heart
Brings us so close or so far apart
Only love can make love

I want you close I want you near
I can't help but listen
But I don't want to hear
I hear that voice again

I want to be with you
I want to be clear
But each time I try
It's the voice I hear
I hear that voice again

That Voice Again Song Chart

Gabriel: "About judgmental attitudes being a barrier between people."

The "voice" represents judgment.

Original title was "First Stone." Gabriel changed it so it would be more personal and less biblical.

Gabriel wrote 3 sets of lyrics before guitarist David Rhodes helped him write the ones he would use.

The last song about Mozo, a mercurial stranger Gabriel created who would come and go, changing people's lives. He appeared in "On The Air," "Exposure", "Here Comes The Flood," "Red Rain," and "Down The Dolce Vita," but the Mozo story as a stage production or movie never developed.
