The Phone Call...

Well hey, it’s been a long day

And your words are ringing in my head

Like a phone off the hook

And I know that you know

That I know all about you

So, come on darlin’, don’t hide behind those tired lines

Ad-libbing hope

While you measure out the fraying ends
On that eleventh-hour rope

And I’m not going to save you

Because I never could

But I’m not going to let you off the hook

And hey, it’s been a long day

And maybe you can take up my time

Baby, I’ve got all night

And I won’t leave you in the dark

And I know that you know

That I know all about you

So, come on darlin’, don’t go gently into the night

Ad-libbing courage

While you burn in the wreckage of that eleventh-hour fight

And maybe we all need a spark

And maybe we al need a safe place to fall apart

And maybe we all need open hands

And maybe we all need a map
When we find ourselves lost in the dark

And maybe we all need someone to reach back

And maybe we all need

Maybe

And I’m not going to save you

Because I never could

But I’m not going to walk away

And close my eyes while you jump-
And hey, it’s been a long day
And I know that you know

That I know
It’s a little a heavy
It’s a little light
And hey, maybe you can take up my time
And hey, I’ll be here waiting
So, come on darlin’, I’ve got all night
And I won’t leave you
I won’t leave you
My hands are open
And I’m waiting for you
And hey, it’s a little heavy
And a little light
And I know that you know
That I know all about you
And maybe this is me picking up the phone
And maybe this is me sending words back through the wire
You can take up my time
I’ll be here all night
And I promise you that I don’t mind
Because you know that I know
That you know all about me
And maybe you would say the same
So, come on baby, my hands are open
And hey, you can take up my time
Because I’m not going to leave you
Not tonight
Not tonight~
