It was wide as it was tall

A faraway wave

It was conjured, it was dreamt

They seek! though long gone

It was all that they could think

It was all that I could think

And still I could not see

The signals in the night

Transmissions, through the sky

Radio, wailing lowly

Searching for a sign

It was quiet, it was night

Soaring—low and high

It was all that I could hear

In the city, lie in walls

Sat in cars along the road

As alone, as the waves

Just as weary

Lone tower, on the hill

Sending messages, so clear

For one moment

Listen to this, only

For one second

Everyone is lonely

Tonight is a long one

The longest night this year

Turn on the radio

Don't speak now, just hear

City lights, reveals no life

But through the walls, I feel

It was all that I could feel

And still I could not see

Turn the dial, pray for a sign

For a signal in the night

Transmissions, through the sky
