Alone with the phone again
|
The deepening light seeps in my mind
|
I'm desperate to hear a voice
|
Can this really be my choice?
|
I'm fifty and I'm tricky
|
And I'm sick of being alone
|
You're twenty-five and pretty
|
But you're old enough to know
|
That actions form a pattern
|
And the heart's the last to know
|
And I'm waitin' for another friend
|
Callin' long distance again
|
|
My mind is an antique room
|
There's overstuffed chairs and carpets too
|
Where nobody ever comes
|
It's a good place to run away from
|
And I'm runnin' from a love
|
With every step I take
|
And if I can fall for you then
|
From the last one I am saved
|
And it's a cold grey wet December
|
Shity shity day
|
And I'm waitin' for another friend
|
Calling long distance again
|
|
You're dark and your French voice is lovely
|
And you're bright eyes light the receiver across the miles
|
I'm listening close and I'm hoping
|
To learn love, but I don't know how
|
Calling long distance again
|
Calling long distance again
|
I'm calling long distance again
|
Calling long distance again
|
