ADRIAN BELEW - PHONE CALL FROM THE MOON lyrics

"Hello, honey, I hope I didn't wake you up,

but I had to hear your voice

I'm standing in another phone booth,

somewhere on the moon

I'm alright, I guess, except for all the stuff I miss

the things we used to do

I never knew I could be this blue

It's so quiet here

like the stars are sayin',

"shh, be quiet"

So, how are the kids?

Did I miss his birthday again?

aw, no...could you tell him I'm sorry,

sometimes my mind gets blurry

and I lose all sense of time

Time moves slowly

like the curve of the earth

Aw, honey, I wish I really could

reach out and touch you...but that's not real

like the moon is blue...like this lonely view

from a sad phone...out here on the moon

And it feels like one long lonely night

you know what I mean,

that's why I called"
