Telephone Line

(album: A New World Record - 1976)

Hello! How are you?
Have you been alright through all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Lonely nights? That's what I'd say
I'd tell you everything if you'd pick up that telephone
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey! How you feelin'?
Are you still the same? Don't you realise the things we did, we did
Were all for real, not a dream?
I just can't believe they've all faded out of view
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh-ooh

Doo-wop, do-be-doo-doo-wop, doo-wah, doo-lang
Blue days, black nights, doo-wah, doo-lang
I look into the sky (The love you need ain't gonna see you through)
And I wonder why (The little things you planned ain't coming true)

Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight

Okay, so no one's answering
Well, can't you just let it ring a little longer, longer, longer? Oh
I'll just sit tight through shadows of the night
Let it ring forevermore
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Doo-wop, doo-be-doo-doo-wop, doo-wah, doo-lang
Blue days, black nights, doo-wah, doo-lang
I look into the sky (The love you need ain't gonna see you through)
And I wonder why (The little things you planned ain't coming true)

Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time
I'm living in twilight
