Pick Up The Phone

Railroad Dikers


Well these days I got wiser 
Yes I seem to understand 
Nothing lasts forever neither life nor innocence 
This will be the last call 
I hope it comes to you 
To thank you for the roses 
When my world was black and blue 

Though some of your advises 
Never meant that much to me 
Though pain and desperation 
Just got stronger everyday 
And though your old heart couldn't feel 
The way I used to do 
You always said you're proud of me 
Believe me, I'm proud of you 

And I call you up 
Yes I call you up now 
A desperate call 

Pick up the phone 
'Cause I want someone to listen 
Pick up the phone 
If it's only one more time 
Pick up the phone 
'Cause I want someone to talk to 
Pick up the phone 
Can't you see that I'm just calling 
Pick up the phone 
Can't you see that I'm just calling to say goodbye 

You always seemed to smile inside 
When someone was around 
To talk to you, to pick you up 
When you were down and out 
I remember those ignorant days 
When it should have been me 
To talk to you, to pick you up 
Instead of your damned TV 

Too late to call, too late to tell 
To say goodbye to you 
Too late to watch your window 
For a cry outside your room 
To late too ask: Where, when, how, why ? 
You left the world this way 
But I guess you'd say: 
Just let your young heart get wiser every day
