The phone broke the silence Like the screamin' of a siren And I just sat beside it Took another drag on my cigarette Swore I'd never smoke again And I watched it ring. Well I knew that it was you Callin' just to prove that You were strong as you could be And you could get along without me Anytime And anyway So I just stare through the doorscreen And I'd watch the cars come down the pike Their lights against the sky Like a drive-in movie On a country road That I've seen before Never like the first time. Blue lights on the dashboard Songs on the radio And how were you to ever know How much I loved you so You thought that I Was only dreaming. What a surprise it must have been To realise I was one of them Not a king but just a man Not an angel hardly a friend And not someone You could believe in And out across the rugged hills The dust blows and the wind wails Sunbleached skulls and empty shells Broken men with tales to tell And I would be One of them. And how were you to ever know How far it was gonna go You fall in love and that's the road You travel till you can't no more And then you just Well you turn around again. CHORUS
