[Verse 1]
Telephones and post cards
I called you from the lobby bar on Tuesday
How's the okra coming up?
And boy, I wish I had me some

You're higher than you've ever been
Lonely like you never been
Waiting on the wind to take you home
[Outro]
Higher than you've ever been
Lonely like you never been
Waiting on the wind to take you home
