I heard you on the radio tonight Calling for your family Tuning in the flickering light Scouring the static All receivers on Searching for a tone Turn the dial slow on the radio Measure hope in bands Time and circumstance Soon the man will go on the radio ♪ Your voice has changed, the passion is gone The frequency's the same one The basement is a sad setting for Crying out for loved ones All receivers on Searching for a tone Turn the dial slow on the radio Measure hope in bands Time and circumstance Soon the man will go on the radio ♪ Sweet, illicit child in a memory Wherever are you now? Sweet, illicit child I remember you The longing in your eyes Sweet illicit child
