Life Short Call Now Lyrics - Life Short Call Now - Bruce Cockburn

Bruce Cockburn 

Life Short Call Now 

Billboards promise paradise 

And tattoos "done while you wait" 

Possible futures all laid out 

On the sweeping curve of the interstate 

Got no city, got no land 

Got no lover, got no wife 

How many ways to say goodbye 

Can one man fit in a nomad life?

Life short-call now 

Lone car waves, then it wanes 

Leaves only voices in the hall 

And in the room next door to mine 

The bed is banging on the wall 

Photos 

You've no idea how I long 

For even one loving caress 

For you to step into my heart 

Without deception or duress 

Life short-call now
