Out of the Blue | Track 03-15 | 1985

[INTRO — TELEPHONE FILTER] [Female voice, distant] Hello? [Pause] It's me. [CLICK] [BASS ENTERS — SIMPLE DRUM MACHINE PULSE] ### Verse 1 It's been a long time Since I heard your voice You said you were leaving You said you had no choice I watched from the window As you walked away Never thought I'd hear you Call me up someday ### Pre-Chorus Now you're on the line After all this time And you say... ### Chorus Out of the blue I heard from you Out of the blue What could I do? Out of the blue You called my name After all these years You still sound the same ### Verse 2 You said, "How've you been?" I said, "I've been fine" We talked about nothing Just passing the time You asked about the water You asked about the rain Funny how an old voice Can bring it back again ### Pre-Chorus Now you're on the line After all this time And I don't know why... ### Chorus Out of the blue I heard from you Out of the blue What could I do? Out of the blue You called my name After all these years You still sound the same [SHORT INSTRUMENTAL — CLEAN DELAYED GUITAR] ### Bridge Maybe some things disappear Maybe some things stay Maybe there's a reason You called me up today [Telephone voice, faint] Are you still there? Chorus Out of the blue I heard from you Out of the blue What could I do? Out of the blue You called my name After all these years You still sound the same Out of the blue Just me and you Out of the blue... Who knew? [INSTRUMENTS DROP OUT] [Telephone voice] Goodnight.
