Lyrics
She calls me on the telephone
Says she doesn't like to be alone
Says she don't think she can make it through the night
I softly talk her down
And try to bring her back around
Saying everything will be better in the morning light
She says she knows that it's a sin
She needs to find her faith again
She lost it somewhere back around her teens
When the magic of her childhood
Fades into the woodwork
And everything around her turned so mean
On the other end I hear her cry
Wish I could be there by her side
But she'd only curse and then push me away
I don't think she was joking
When she said that she was broken
And I know there's probably nothing I can do or say
I lay here alone
Echoes of the telephone
And the broken girl consumed by sorrow
I say a little prayer for her
To a God who isn't there for her
And ask Him to take care of her if only till tomorrow
