Moscow Calling

(album: Songwriter - 2022)

I wiped away the pain that was running down her face
She looked right into my eyes, but I had to look away
I took her hand in mine and said "this could never last
There's no future in all that's passed"
But now I see the only thing worth living for
Is what I left at that terminal door

Operator, this is Moscow calling
Can you hurry, 'cause the tears are falling
And there's only so much silence I can take
Tried the number 'bout a thousand times
One more second, I'll lose my mind
Can you help me? I pray it's not too late

Oh, this is Moscow calling
Oh, this is Moscow calling

Spent all my days and nights learning how to be alone
No room for anyone I could ever call my own
I got used to the ice running through my veins
Immune to any kind of pain
I need to be strong but I've forgotten how
Guess it's time to surrender now

Operator, this is Moscow calling
Can you hurry, 'cause the tears are falling
And there's only so much silence I can take
Tried the number 'bout a thousand times
One more second, I'll lose my mind
Would you help me? I pray it's not too late

Oh, this is Moscow calling
Oh, this is Moscow calling

Mm, I need to be strong but I've forgotten how
Guess it's time to surrender now

Operator, this is Moscow calling
Can you hurry, 'cause the tears are falling
And there's only so much silence I can take
Tried the number 'bout a thousand times
One more second, I'll lose my mind
Can you help me? I pray it's not too late

Oh, this is Moscow calling
Oh, this is Moscow calling
Oh, this is Moscow calling
Oh, this is Moscow calling
