Telephone Line Lyrics - Essential Electric Light Orchestra - E.l.o.

Hello--how are you 

Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights, 

That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything, 

If you'd pick up that telephone. 

Hey--how you feelin' 

Are you still the same 

Don't you realize the things we did were all for real not a dream, 

I just can't believe 

They've all faded out of view. 

I look into the sky 

(The love you need ain't gonna see you through.) 

And I wonder why 

(The little things are finally coming true.) 

[CHORUS] 

Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight 

Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight 

O.K. so no--one's answering, 

Well can't you just let it ring a little longer 

I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night 

Let it ring for evermore. 

[CHORUS -- repeat]
