[00:12]you know i used to call my baby up
[00:17]and weand'd get real close
[00:21]just like the telephone was a sofa
[00:25]and our thoughts would mingle
[00:28]and weand'd leave our minds wide open
[00:33]like a big window in the evening air
[00:38]and weand'd say
[00:39]andquot;hey baby, come on in and help yourself to my soulandquot;
[00:50]andquot;hey baby, come on in and help yourself to my soulandquot;
[01:01]but these days, even saying, andquot;hello? how are you?andquot;
[01:05]andquot;iand'm fine. how are you?andquot; takes a lot of sweat
[01:10]
[01:15]ainand't that a shame
[01:20]ainand't that a shame
[01:26]but in linctus house
[01:32]in my flesh hotel
[01:38]i donand't care anymore
[01:43]
[01:45]you know my baby and me
[01:47]as kimberley would say
[01:49]weand'd curl up like two dogs
[01:51]in front of a fire
[01:55]and our eyes would reflect each other
[01:58]in the warm long heat of love
[02:02]yeah, the warm long heat of love
[02:07]and i would hear the rain falling
[02:09]on the leaves outside
[02:13]i couldand'nt stand too close the window
[02:16]and'cause iand'd shiver if i left her side
[02:23]but now iand'd shake if we should meet
[02:31]and i spend most of my time in the bushes
[02:34]

[02:41]ainand't that a shame

[03:15]andquot;i understand how everything sometimes
[03:17]turns out to be nothing,andquot; you say
[03:23]but i wonder if you do
[03:31]and if we understood each other
[03:34]thereand'd be no need to talk
[03:39]but even that, even talking is out of reach
[03:44]should i say it with flowers or
[03:46]should i say it with nails?
[03:52]iand'm not the kind to push you around
[03:56]but i donand't want to make myself vulnerable
[04:03]and if i was on my knees
[04:05]youand'd have a pretty good view of my skull
[04:09]and i happen to know youand're carrying a chisel
[04:12]
