The Other End

I can’t pretend to know what you’re feeling

I can’t even pretend to understand

When the time comes I’ll have to be leaving

But you should know that I am close at hand

Call unknown

No dialling tone

Speak to me

My line is free

Every lie you’ve ever told

All the pain you never showed

You know that you’re not alone

When I’m on the other end of the telephone

I will listen to you when you’re feeling down and when you’re low

I’ll put everything and everybody else I know on hold

You know that you’re not alone

When I’m on the other end of the telephone

Where on earth do you usually run to

When it’s too much and you are all at sea

If you trip up somewhere along the route

Just take it out and lay it all on me

Call unknown

No dialling tone

Speak to me

My line is free

Every lie you’ve ever told

All the pain you never showed

You know that you’re not alone

When I’m on the other end of the telephone

I will listen to you when you’re feeling down and when you’re low

I’ll put everything and everybody else I know on hold

You know that you’re not alone

When I’m on the other end of the telephone

I told you

No more tears

When you get through I am all ears

I can’t be

At your door

But this is what my number’s for

Every lie you’ve ever told

All the pain you never showed

You know you are not alone
