Lyrics Phone Booth In Heaven - Jim White

Phone Booth In Heaven

Oh where are we going?
Oh where have we been?
Our hush-a-bye angel,
she’s safe and tucked in. I drive around town, while
You sit and watch the rain.
There’s what you think with your heart and what I
feel with my brain.
For those who plant
Nothing but the seeds of the falling there is a phone booth in heaven that no
one is calling.
It sits on a highway that
Leads nowhere.
I’ll drop you a line next time I find myself there.
Remembering them days, how we wore our weakness well
There’s some say that heaven can’t exist without hell, well if the proof’s in
the pudding, and that axiom’s true, somehow
The heart of the matter escaped me and you.
For those who plant nothing but the
seeds of the falling there is a phone
Booth in heaven that no one is calling.
Though the ghosts of redemption might
whisper odd promises, I for one don’t put
Much faith in them specters.
Now the blueprint for sorrow is just to put off
the hurt 'til the price of tomorrow becomes
More than love’s worth.
'Til what’s begged and what’s stole is just the hollow
remains of some beautiful failure that we
Cling to in vain.
For those who plant nothing but the seeds of the falling
there is a phone booth in heaven that no one is
Calling.
The truest word heard there is the word that’s unspoken 'cause you
can’t mend what the Good Lord designed to be
Broken.
Oh where are we going?
My darling oh where?
Our sweetheart’s in
dreamland, please let her stay there.
We are two
Separate people, with two separate ways.
Until we come to our senses,
it’s our sweetheart that pays
