All Night Operator

Can't you hear me talkin' to you?

I'm callin' you one more time

All night operator

Dial me a better line

Can't you hear me talkin' to you?

Do telephones make you cry?

I try to write letters

Only my pen runs dry

Though my words sound so confused

The feeling is running strong

Stick tight, operator

Help me to pass it on, oh

A final connection

A bridge before the fall

Receiver unrestin'

I count on your call

Am I just a number to you

A handful of empty sighs?

All night operator

Reader between the lies

With half the world dreamin'

I see through your eyes

A switchboard breathin'

A diary of crossed lines

Can't you hear me talkin' to you?

I'm callin' you one more time

All night operator

Dial me better line

If you feel me driftin' away

Slippin' into my song

All night operator

All of a sudden, gone
