lyrics

Landline

touching you through the telephone, keeping you in the know.
standing cold in the box alone, on both frozen hands blow
kisses to you from afar that never seem to land.
promise you one more rendezvous, keep your number close to hand.

two eighty miles of wind and wire. a digital distance so
closer through the connection, not close enough to show
tear stained cheeks, fast beating hearts, our outstretched empty hands
clasp so tight most every night the receiver who understands

loving by landline, time’s up all too soon.
crying through cable, electro magnetic blues

blew my last 10p last night so now it’s up to you.
hurry love I’m fading fast, frost on the glass, it rings at last.
pick up the phone, oh it’s you!

touching me through the telephone, keeping me in the know.
standing cold in the box alone, on both frozen hands blow
kisses to me from afar that never seem to land.
promise you one more rendezvous, keep my number close to hand
clasped so tight most every night the receiver we understand

loving by landline, time’s up always too soon.
caring through cable, long distance blues
loving by landline, time’s up much too soon.
comfort through cable, electro magnetic blues.
loving by landline, time’s up all too soon.
caring through cable, long distance blues.
