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
And I wonder why

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

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