Telephone Line
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hello, how are you?
Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights?
That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything
If you'd pick up that telephone
Hey, how you feelin'?
Are you still the same?
Don't you realize the things we did
Were all for real, not a dream
I just can't believe
They've all faded out of view
I look into the sky
(The love you need ain't gonna see you through)
And I wonder why
(The little things are finally coming true)
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
OK, so no one's answering
Well can't you just let it ring a little longer?
I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night
Let it ring for evermore
I look into the sky
(The love you need ain't gonna see you through)
And I wonder why
(The little things are finally coming true)
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
