Story Behind The Song
I was chided by a friend that all my songs were dark, so I tried to write a sincere love song. It was only in retrospect that I realized it was kind of creepy. I thought it was more interesting that way.
Song Description
Meant to communicate in the style of a classic love song, without irony, but with hints of desperation underneath a la "Every Breath You Take".

Lyrics
CALLING YOU
© 2002 Words & Music by Chuck Lee Bramlet
You can act like you don?t know me
But you do
You can pay lip service to a lie
But you know what is true
You can betray your saviour with a kiss
and deny your fate
You can whistle any tune you want to
but honey it?s much too late
?Cause I?ve got you now
Though we?re apart
Only I know the tears
Shed in your deepest heart
I?m Calling You
You can act like you?re in heaven
But you?re not
You can pray to anyone you want to
The way you?ve been taught
You can paint your cell sky blue
And disguise your bars
But I?m here within you
?Cause we were lovers before the stars
?Cause I?ve got you now
Though we?re apart
Only I know the tears
Shed in your deepest heart
I?m Calling You
(can?t believe that I keep falling
you?re on redial so I keep calling you)
Yes I know you might not stay
I know that you might just turn away
But I?m Calling You
(can?t believe that I keep falling
you?re on redial so I keep calling you)
I?m Calling You
(tears, tiaras and rings enfold you
wind and leaves revolve around you)
