Don't Hang Up

I can listen till the beams start a-bending
And the weary night slips off of the face of the clock
‘Cause I like you, and want to lie here with you
But to you I’m just the man shoveling snow from your walk

Got your point, and I'll explain what I mean
At least give me the chance to be a shoulder for you.
If you want to we can leave right away
I’ll sign in at our hotel as a bodyguard for you.

Don’t hang up, hear me out,
I’m really just as lost as you
That’s spot there that always hurts you
I know it well!

Don’t hang up, take your time
And I’ll lend you all eternity
Love is not on summer clearance sale;
Don’t hang up.

You are lonely, your mouth’s a tiny knife
Everyone is alone, when desire's pulse is gone.
Oh, how I want to sing a song of life.
I’ll be mute ferryman
The waves that push you on...

Don’t hang up, love’s no crime
You just need me to steal your time,
I’ll be listening, when you stir, for your secret laugh.

Don’t hang up, hear me right
We can vanish in the dark of night
We must yet race one unrun lap.
Don't hang up.

Don’t hang up, hear me out,
I’m really just as lost as you
That’s spot there, that always hurts you
I know it well!

Don’t hang up, take your time
And I’ll lend you all eternity
Love is not on summer clearance sale
Don’t hang up.
