Lyrics Alarm Call - The Correspondents

Alarm Call

Where have you gone?
I am calling on you.
Your alarm call’s on and I’m coming to your rescue.
I know exactly what to do
I make the call and sit by you
Check your heartbeat against mine
And mop your brow from time to time.
Where have you gone?
I am calling on you.
Your alarm call’s on and I’m coming to your rescue.
When I’m the person by your side
I’m your mentor, I’m your guide.
Upon me you can rely
When you’re high and when you’re dry.
The irony is that my recovery is always slower than yours.
You’re back on your feet in no time
When I’m left floored.
Haunted by the sound of your alarm call.
Living in fear of your next fall.
Where have you gone?
I am calling on you.
Your alarm call’s on and I’m coming to your rescue.
I know exactly what to do
I make the call and sit by you
Check your heartbeat against mine
But there’s no trace of it this time.

Where have you gone?
I am calling on you.
My siren’s on and there’s so many things that I need you to do.
I never asked when you were here
Because it seemed so crystal clear
That it was you who needed me
That was the way it had to be.
Where have you gone?
I am calling on you.
My siren’s on and there’s so many things that I need you to do.
Be my mentor, be my guide.
Show me when to run and when to hide.
I know you would’ve known just what to do
With all the things that life could throw at you.
My siren will remain on for a while.
Waiting soundproof by a timid little smile.
I’m still haunted by your alarm call.
Without the fear of your next fall.
Where have you gone?
I am calling on you.
My siren’s on and there’s so many things that I need you to do.
So many moods that you could change
So many thoughts you’d rearrange
So many rules I know you’d bend
So all good things will find their end.
