Pick up the phone

[Verse] Pick up the phone in the dead of night Searching for words that feel just right Your voice on the line it's my delight But my tongue twists tight under the light [Verse 2] Dialing your number a heartbeat away Behind every ring what will I say Listen to echoes of love in sway Captured by silence wild thoughts in play [Chorus] Hello my dear can you read my mind Words are elusive so hard to find Just want to hear you let time unwind Your whispers soothe in a world unkind [Verse 3] Holding the receiver close to my ear Breathing in moments when you are near Fumbling for phrases candor or cheer Is this love's grace or is it just fear [Verse 4] Every sweet murmur warmth through the phone Though miles between us I'm not alone Your laughter a symphony tones unknown Lost in the music two hearts have grown [Chorus] Hello my dear can you read my mind Words are elusive so hard to find Just want to hear you let time unwind Your whispers soothe in a world unkind
