Sign of Life

I’m only getting static on the radio
I’m only getting silence on the phone                 
My television seems to be broken 
It looks so dark outside 
My face is pressed against the window
Looking for a sign - a sign of life  

I only listen when there’s no one talking
I only speak when there’s nothing to say
I spent the whole night walking
I hoped I’d find some lights
But I only saw my shadow
Just trying to run away from a sign of life

I’m looking for    another sign of life  
Can anybody hear me?  I’m caught between the knife
And a hard place... Can anyone see my face? 
Can anybody hear me?
Is anybody near a sign of life?

I’m playing games now with the shadows on the wall              
I’m still searching hoping that somebody will call
The horizon’s always empty     
The warm wind doesn’t care
My eyes are looking for an answer
To come from anywhere - a sign of life     

I’m looking for    another sign of life  
Can anybody hear me?  I’m caught between the knife
And a hard place... Can anyone see my face? 
Can anybody hear me?
Is anybody near a sign of life?
