Come around and say you love me
Hang you heart in lights above me
Is that too much to ask for?
When the night descends upon us
Take a shower, dry your hair by the furnace,
I watch you from the corner.
Telephones and old typewriters
Words of love along the wires
Let's make it work tonight.
Telegraphs and birds that fly
Through air so still you hear me sigh...
Let's make it work tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Then furious
You threw the picture
I, cap in hand, an awful mixture
That kind of hard love is the worst.
I try to speak, but you don't hear me,
When you're gone, you still feel near me...
For awhile
For a little while...
I've tried telephones and old typewriters,
Words of love along the wires,
But nothing is working tonight.
I've tried telegraphs and birds that fly
Through air so still you hear me sigh...
But nothing is working tonight.
