Lyrics
REQUEST LINE
By: Mike Cloonan
Copyright 1990
VERSE 1
Well, know hear this, sorry you had to go.
Was it something I said
Maybe we?ll never know
Was it something you ate
Call and tell me.
VERSE 2
Well given a choice, I?d rather have you back
But if love is dead, I?m not wearing black
If it died that fast it wasn?t love at all.
Call.
CHORUS
Request line is open
Tell me know what it is you want to hear
Request line is open
Tell me now what it is that you fear.
Request line is open
If you don?t call, maybe we?ll never know
Maybe some child is waiting in heaven
If you don?t call we?ll never know
We?ll never know if you don?t call.
VERSE 3
Well I don?t give a damn about crying all night.
As pain yields to time dark yields to light.
But if you don?t care at least call and tell me.
But if you care don?t wait too long
when the Nighthawk flies, your time will be gone.
There will be no one here to answer the phone
Call me.
REPEAT CHORUS
Request line, request line is open
Request line, request line is open.
