Telephone Line

---

	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.)	

		CHORUS
		Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
		Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight

	O.K. 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.

		CHORUS -- repeat
