Yazoo - Softly Over Lyrics
It's over, there's nothing more to say
Silent comes the night time, end another summers day
I can just remember, or is this the dream that never goes away.
[Chorus]
Understand me, can you hear me call.
Night time, surely it's a lie,
No-one ever told me, I just let the chance go by
Wishing there was time enough, you tell me there's no time, but I can try.
[Chorus repeat]
Speak now, without the summer light
All the words I should have spoken, when you held me tight
[Chorus repeat]
I'll be waiting for you hoping, that someday you'll hear me calling
But there's never any answer, just the echo of the call

These first two albums changed my life wow
Amigos!!!! without this computer man, is never been Depeche Mode! = Vince Clarke
Thanks that Vince Clarke leave DM!!
fan of yazoo since 10 years old love alison and vice both
I listened to Upstairs at Eric's every single day in college. However, only now, today, nearly 30 years later, I discover they made a second album! This is great. I'm so happy, 30 years melt away, a time capsule to pull me back to when I was free and fun and adventerous and fearless. I'm so glad I never knew! I beedvut more niw than I would have then. I'm old and fat and alone. Anyways, I thought their name was Yaz! I always ignored stuff about Yazoo. LOL. All for the best though. I'm only one song in and it is really good..
Not old and fat mature and more of you now xx
I think they were called Yaz in America for some reason, but Yazoo everywhere else :)
Things will work out. There is someone out there for you.
3:26 I'll be waiting for you hoping that someday you'll hear me calling but there's never any answer just the echo of the call.
"Softly Over"
It's over, there's nothing more to say
Silent comes the night time, end another summers day
I can just remember, or is this the dream that never goes away.
[Chorus]
Understand me, I'm calling -
Understand me, can you hear me call.
Night time, surely it's a lie,
No-one ever told me, I just let the chance go by
Wishing there was time enough, you tell me there's no time, but I can try.
[Chorus repeat]
Speak now, without the summer light
All the words I should have spoken, when you held me tight
Still I'll keep in calling, till the morning ends another lonely night.
[Chorus repeat]
I'll be waiting for you hoping, that someday you'll hear me calling
But there's never any answer, just the echo of the call
Life would be boring without YT, the time maaachiiiine.....
It's like Simon and Garfunkel. One plus one equals 8 or 10.
masterpiece . Thxs Vince & Alison . Love U 4ever .
Has to be one of the best albums of the 80's SIMPLY AWESOME.
What a voice...
I think it's their masterpiece....without question. For me it is!!!
i agree with you there
This one, Winter kills, In my room, And on.
Such a great band :)
Witamy w 1983 roku. 👍

new wave at its best.
woooow.....amazing song💗💗💗💗💗💗
Minimalismo........electromagnetismo..............
This song was very nice surprise. Much better than some more famous song of Yazoo.
Absolutely wonderful!! <3
The baseline have a slightly hypnotic effect on me...
Grabs you - shakes you - total class!
So much power and emotion in this song
Love it always have always will unique

The 80s was the best of times.
They sure were.

yeh its class. U have great taste and its a great album...
Sounds like an early version of "Ship of Fools". Gotta love Vince Clarke
OMG wow...im in tears lol. i used to loveeee this,still do <333
It's a great song I wish a girl sing it to me.
grr.. this music makes me realize how old I am! hehe
nice to be back in 1983!
We used this Yazoo album for testing audio systems, back '80s in Poland. To me this the best one Vince has made, way better than Upstairs at Eric's.
Probably the best break up song ever. I lived for this during my first break up oh so many years ago.
Thank you so much for posting this. This song is so hard to find, and It's my favorite!
This album is, to me, far superior to Upstairs At Eric's. This track is beautiful. Perfect breakup record.
Interesting the 'understand me' lyric...did Martin Gore get the idea from his old Depeche Mode band mate when he wrote 'Shake The Disease' ?
MrFan1979 Yeah I thought the same too.
lord... this takes me back to college days.. good times.. good times...
Would have loved to have them play this song when they toured in 2008...but they didn't *sigh*
i almost forgot this song. thanks for bringing up again
Thanks for posting this. I feel young again... :)
