Lyrically, Gill croons of a long-lost lover who no longer returns his cries of affection. The mood is somber!
“When I Call Your Name” reached #2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks list.
[Verse 1]
I rushed home from work like I always do
I spent my whole day just thinking of you
When I walked through the front door, my whole life was changed
'Cause nobody answered when I called your name
[Verse 2]
A note on the table that told me goodbye
It said you'd grown weary of living a lie
Oh, your love has ended but mine still remains
But nobody answers when I call your name
[Chorus]
Oh, the lonely sound of my voice callin'
Is drivin' me insane
And just like rain, the tears keep fallin'
But nobody answers when I call your name
[Piano Solo]
[Steel Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, the lonely sound of my voice callin'
Is drivin' me insane
And just like rain, the tears keep fallin'
But nobody answers when I call your name
Oh, nobody answers when I call your name
When I Call Your Name was written by Tim DuBois & Vince Gill.
