This song is difficult to describe, but I guess it lists the feelings and sensations you get when you end up spending too much of your life alone, for whatever reason. If this song moves you, you will already know the feeling; if it does not, just enjoy it.
There’s a sound that you hear when you’re all alone
When there’s nobody there but you
Is it laughter you hear from another room
Or your name softly echoing through
Like the crash of a wave or the roar of the tide
Like the sigh that remains when you’ve said your goodbye
It’s the beat of your heart in the dead of night
It’s the sound of life
There’s a sound that you hear when you’re on the run
When you’re turning your back to it all
It’s a slam of a door or a distant gun
Or some dark and mysterious call
It’s a creak on the stair in the fading light
It’s the sound of a promise being broken in the night
It’s a howl of a wolf it’s the call of the wild
It’s the sound of life
There’s a sound that you hear when you’re almost home
When you’ve come to the end of the road
It’s a sigh of relief and a quiet moan
As you lay down your weary load
It’s a bleat of a lamb it’s a cry of a child
It’s the bell that tolls at the end of time
It’s a wish it’s a prayer it’s a lullaby
It’s the sound of life
