Electric Light Orchestra
Telephone Line

 

Hello - how are you
Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights,
That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything,
If you'd pick up that telephone - yeah yeah yeah yeha

Hey - how you feelin'
Are you still the same?
Don't you realize the things we did were dear, all for real not a dream,
I just can't believe
They've all faded out of view - yeah yeah yeah

do wop, dooby dooby wop - do wah tonight
blue days black nights - do wah tonight
I look into the sky - the love you need ain't gonna ses you thorugh
and I wonder why - the little things you find me coming through.

Oh Oh - Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
Oh Oh - Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight

O.K. - so no-one's answering,
Well can't you just let it ring a little longer, longer, longer - oh oh
I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night,
Let it ring for evermore, yeah yeah yeah

do wop, dooby dooby wop - do wah tonight
blue days black nights - do wah tonight
I look into the sky - the love you need ain't gonna ses you thorugh
and I wonder why - the little things you find me coming through.

Oh Oh - Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
Oh Oh - Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
