Again
© 1981 by Joe Strell
What a place to be
Singing to the water pipes
Laughing in a dream
Happy just to pass me by
I remember phone conversations
Failing to explain
The lie remains—
I'm doing fine
Oh, hopeless conversations
Oh, hopeless conversations, again
Hold me in your arms
Take me to bed
Think of all the nice things instead
Unable to decline
I know your name
Have you got time?
Is there a God?
It's a miracle that I got through
Hello, hello?
My voice sounds strange to me
Over the phone
What must you think of me
Oh, hopeless conversations
Oh, hopeless conversations, again
Hold me in your arms
Take me to bed
Think of all the nice things instead
Are you surprised?
Intimate beyond repair
Do you smile?
A face behind a screen of wire
Why deceive?
A distance that exceeds my grasp
Say goodbye...
Tears to wet a throat gone dry
Hold me in your arms
Take me to bed
Think of all the nice things instead
