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
