Lyrics Phone Call from the Moon - Adrian Belew

Phone Call from the Moon

«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"
