The Phone

Sitting on the hotel bed all alone

Staring longingly at the phone

Willing it to come alive and ring

Thinking of the joy it would bring

 

The simple joy of hearing your voice

Instead of this never-ending background noise

Being away from you breaks my heart

Still dreaming of a brand-new start

 

I hurt you badly, that I know

It’s the reason you made me go

Would give anything to be with you

To start our love and life anew

 

If you could only forgive and forget

Find it in your heart to not be upset

If we could only talk on the phone

I would do anything you want to atone

 

I realize what a fool I have been

In my heart you are still my queen

I long to tell this all to you my dear

But it might just be too late I fear
