Ring ring, the telephone I will sing
Songs on receiver, just dying to hear you speak
When I'm gone you'll fade
Too long

Speak speak, soft and sweet
Love me in whispers
Lonely ears of mine aching on

Southern sky grows cold at night
And I ain't gonna see you baby for some time
Dust settles down, dusky haze of a cloud
Moon's still floating like a memory
Lover at loss, they tore down the cross
Found you resurrecting, catching coins we toss
This ain't meant to be, as far as I see

Sometimes great ascending [?]
Never looked like they could be
If I die in my sleep, at least I'd die peacefully
If we die tomorrow, at least we'd die happily
Because this worlds gonna dolly as I watch it all fade from me

And this whole world's seems to dolly on
Dolly dolly, compared to you and me [?]
Southern sky, grows cold at night
And I ain't gonna see you baby for some time
Dust settles down, dusky haze of a cloud
Moon's still flowing like a memory
Lover at loss, tore down the cross
Found you resurrecting, catching coins we tossed
This ain't meant to be, as far as I see

This ain't meant to be, as far as I see
(instrumental)

This ain't meant to be, as far as I see
No this ain't meant to be, as far as I see

Dust settles down, dusky haze of a cloud
The moon's still floating like a memory
Lover at loss, they tore down the cross
Found you resurrecting, catching coins we tossed
This ain't meant to be, as far as I see
No this ain't meant to be, as far as I see
