Overseas Call |
| I’m in the old world |
| You’re in the new |
| Gonna pick up the phone |
| Try to get through |
| Seven hours and an ocean |
| Between me and you |
| Gonna make me an overseas call |
| A foreign language |
| In a distant place |
| A different time zone |
| With a slower pace |
| I remember your body |
| But I forgot your face |
| Got to make me an overseas call |
| A few days ago, I called you up |
| I’m afraid that I woke you up too |
| The connection was clear |
| But we didn’t connect |
| I hung up, feeling hung up and blue |
| This is expensive |
| I probably should write |
| But letters take so long |
| And postcards are just trite |
| And it’s dark over here |
| But back there there’s still light |
| Gonna make me an overseas call |
| I hope you’re at home |
| I don’t want your machine |
| I hope you’re awake |
| Not asleep and a’dream |
| And I hope that you love me |
| Whatever that means |
| A few days ago, I called you up |
| I’m afraid that I woke you up too |
| The connection was clear |
| But we didn’t connect |
| I hung up, feeling hung up and blue |
| The fish in the ocean |
| Will gather around |
| That telephone cable |
| They will fathom the sound |
| Of a lost human voice |
| Finally found |
| Gonna make me an overseas call |
