You are like a bird, you will laugh when you want to laugh
And then you're cold like a lady in an old tinted photograph
Hello, caller, I'm away from home
Be true and leave your name upon my phone
You are like the surf, you will crash when you want to crash
And then you're cold like the waving of your own artificial lash
Now I don't trust the grapevine, but I heard you're coming through
I'm sticking with my greeting, I've got one more dream to do
Hello, caller, I'm away from home
Be true and leave your name upon my phone
Then, like a dream, the little speaker said, "I just know you're lying there in your bed..."
I'm so sorry, and so far from home
Be true and leave your name upon my phone
Hello, caller, I'm away from home
Be true and leave your name upon my phone
