The Phone Call

Staring at the phone
It's been an hour already since you had to call
Maybe you forgot
Or maybe you wanted to

Waiting all day
To hear your voice on the other line
Anticipating the moment when you'd said:
I love you, everything will be alright.

The winds took you away
The city lights snatched you away from me
So fast I didn't have time to say
I need you.

I think hear the ring
Droned out in the silence
But it's my imagination playing tricks on me
And I just sigh.

I don't want to go to bed
Cause it'll mean the day is over
And haven't heard from you yet
So I'll just cry myself to sleep.
