Show Me A Sign



my dear old friend
where have you been so long
you're standing here
but you don't hear my song

I see you day after day
you have so little to say to me
you're troubling me
I need to see a sign

give me a sign of your love
show me a sign that you're thinking of me
I need to know before you go
show me a sign

now teachers teach
and preachers preach their views
the poets write
and singers sing their blues

I don't want a lecture of a sermon
discussion confession and no book learning
all in all
I ask is one small sign

give me a sign of your love
show me a sign that you're thinking of me
I need to know before you go
show me a sign

animal
even vegetables all know
the good earth gives
that all may live and frow

like warmth is a sign to the seed
a blossom a sign to the honeybee
that sure I would feel
if you would reveal one sign

give me a sign of your love
show me a sign that you're thinking of me
I need to know before you go
show me a sign

you are a man of few words
much of your mind I have never heard
you're troubling me
I need to see a sign

give me a sign of your love
show me a sign that you're thinking of me
I need to know before you go
show me a sign
