Cornelia And Jane Lyrics

Yo La Tengo Cornelia And Jane

I hear the whispering
Just out of you
Still I know what’s inside of you
Outside your window
Neighbors appear in the view
Let me clear for you

How? Let me hold on to you

Caught up in motion
Swear when you’re ‘round
Sometimes you’re standing still
On uneven ground
Too many sirens, they keep you up at night
Sit back and hold your ears

How will we hold back our tears?

I hear them whispering
They analyze
But no one knows
What’s lost in your eyes
Sending the message, it doesn’t get to you
How can we care for you?

Slipping away
They dig inside of you
And how can we hold on to you?
