in dark and silent solitude
i listen for the phone,
disheartened and dejected,
depressed and all alone.
all-the-while knowing i
will say the wrong damn thing,
i stare at that damn telephone
and pray that it will ring.
all-the-while knowing you
will not come back to me,
still yet i sit here patiently;
and pray and cry and plea.
all-the-while knowing i
am crying in the rain,
i beg that heaven listen
to my pathos and my pain.
all-the-while knowing you
and god ignore my plight,
i find solace in the hope somehow,
that phone will ring tonight.
in dark and silent solitude
i listen for the phone,
disheartened and dejected
depressed and all alone...
i listen for the phone,
disheartened and dejected,
depressed and all alone.
all-the-while knowing i
will say the wrong damn thing,
i stare at that damn telephone
and pray that it will ring.
all-the-while knowing you
will not come back to me,
still yet i sit here patiently;
and pray and cry and plea.
all-the-while knowing i
am crying in the rain,
i beg that heaven listen
to my pathos and my pain.
all-the-while knowing you
and god ignore my plight,
i find solace in the hope somehow,
that phone will ring tonight.
in dark and silent solitude
i listen for the phone,
disheartened and dejected
depressed and all alone...
