Telephone Line
Electric Light Orchestra
A New World Record (1976)

Hello -- how are you
Have you been alright, though all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights.
That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything,
If you'd pick up that telephone

Hey -- how you feelin'
Are you still the same
Don't you realize the things we did, we did, were all for real not a dream.
I just can't believe
They've all faded out of view

Blue days, black nights
I look into the sky (the love you need ain't gonna see you through)
And I wonder why (the little things you find ain't coming true)

Chorus:
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight

OK, so no-one's answering,
Well can't you just let it ring a little longer, longer, longer
I'll just sit tight, through shadows of the night
Let it ring for evermore

Blue days, black nights
I look into the sky (the love you need ain't gonna see you through)
And I wonder why (the little things you find ain't coming true)

Chorus: repeat
