lyrics
Summer evening hit and run,
I meant every word—
Won’t change your mind.
Still, I wanted to be heard.
If I was a charming man,
I’d pretend I’m well.
Hide my defects
With a pithy anecdote I’d tell.
A fading signal:
He calls your name.
A fading signal
Dies in the air.
A fading signal: He calls your name,
While I swallow my conceited little prayer!
Pass our troubles back and forth
Beneath a broken light.
Blew it again.
Don’t apologize when you’re right.
A fading signal:
He calls your name.
A fading signal
Dies in the air.
A fading signal: He calls your name,
While I swallow my conceited little prayer!
A fading signal:
You know you will. In the predawn vapors,
You’ll find him there.
A fading signal:
You know you will.
So, here’s to that great would-be affair!
Imagination, expectation,
Strangled on my hope:
Habits die hard.
Desires indexed on a tattered note.
A fading signal:
He calls your name.
Skies rip open,
Rains breach the tear.
A fading signal:
He calls your name.
A fading signal
Dies in the air.
A fading signal:
He calls your name.
While I swallow my conceited little prayer!
