You're Gonna Hear From Me
Bill Evans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Move over sun and you, give me some sky
I've got some wings, I'm eager to try
I may be unknown but wait 'til I've flown
You're gonna hear from me

Make me some room, you people up there
On top of the world, I'll meet you, I swear
I'm staking my claim, remember my name
You're gonna hear from me

Fortune smiles on the road before me
I'm a fortune's child
Listen world, you can't ignore me

I've got a song that longs to be played
Raise up my flag, begin my parade
Then watch the world over, start coming up clover
That's how it's gonna be

Fortune smiles on the road out there before me
And I'm fortune's child
Listen world, you can't ignore me

I've got a song that longs to be played
Raise up my flag, begin my parade
Then watch the world over, start coming up clover
That's how it's gonna be, you'll see

You're gonna hear from




[Incomprehensible]
You're gonna hear from me
