Lie with me silently
For a morning or a century
Everybody else has gone away
Where the lullwater runs aground
In the shadow of a thundercloud
Close your eyes and align north-south
Listen to the wind blow a welcome song
Oh I’ve been alone so long
Everybody else has done me wrong
Now I don’t trust anyone
(I just thought you’d be calling back about now, somehow)
I came up empty every time I tried
To call out from under the spotlight
Now there’s nothing left for me to hide
I am empty empty empty empty
Spend most of every waking day waiting for the phone to ring
You said something that you didn’t mean
When you told me you would always be there for me
And you said you’d be calling back about now, somehow
And you would speak to me quietly
With your voice like the falling leaves
Like waking from the longest dream
And you would ride on the whistling wind
Blow down the door, let me in
But when I heard that voice again it said it said it said
I came up empty every time I tried
To call out from under the spotlight
Now there’s nothing left for me to hide
I am empty empty empty empty
Spend most of every waking day waiting for the phone to ring
You turned trust into a violent thing
When you told me you would always be there for me
I just thought you’d be calling back about now, somehow
I just thought you’d be calling back about now
