Velvet Telephone》

There was a telephone

beside my bed a little light a little red

I used to wait

for your voice to call listening to the silence

through the wall

The city outside was falling asleep while I was counting the moments

between

We didn't have forever

we didn't have a screen

just a little conversation

and a place

for memories

Call me on the velvet telephone

when the night is getting cold

tell me all the little stories that you never told

(ooh-ooh-ooh) Call me on the velvet telephone

even if it's far away

some connections need a little time to find their way A radio

playing an old love song

the kind of melody

that stays when you're gone

Photographs fading

colors turning slow but some feelings

never leave the room

Maybe we were closer

when we couldn't always reach

maybe

distance gave a meaning

to the words we had to speak

Call me on the velvet telephone

one more time tonight (call me tonight)

(on the velvet telephone...) (yeah...)
