KEEP TALKING
If you have a tale to tell
Memorize my number and
call me on the telephone, we’ll talk till someone comes along and
books you
We could talk about the weather
And your brand new sweater how the
Summer seems so far away, it’s raining here, it’s wet today,
it’s cold
Looking up I wave like crazy
Are you there, who knows? Maybe
You’re in some shopping mart picking up some cakes and tarts
to go
Thought I saw you on a bookshelf
And heard you on the radio playing
In a car next to mine while you were probably skipping across
some road
Still on that hilltop going nowhere
With metaphors just meant for you like
A bouncing sheep in a yellow shirt that no one gets which really makes me
Miss you
So call me up on the telephone
We could talk for hours if you’re on your own
I’ll say the things you thought you’d say more than six times in a day and
spook you
