If The Phone Doesn`t Ring It`s Me — текст песни (Jimmy Buffett)

If The Phone Doesn`t Ring It`s Me
1985
"The time spent writing about the intensity involved in trying to
keep love together is short; but the endless research can kill you."
There are oceans of feelings between us
Currents that take us and sweep us away
That`s why we seldom have seen us
In the light of a cold hard day

Lots of new friends with the same old answers
Open your eyes
You might see
If our lives were that simple
We`d live in the past
If the phone doesn`t ring
It`s me

If the phone doesn`t ring
You`ll know that it`s me
I`ll be out in the eye of the storm
If the phone doesn`t ring
You know that I`ll be
Where someone can make me feel warm

It`s too bad we can`t turn
And live in the past
If the phone doesn`t ring
It`s me

I`ve had good days and bad days
And goin` half mad days
I try to let go but you`re still on my mind
I`ve lost all the old ways
I`m searchin` for new plays
Puttin` it all on the line

Lots of new friends with the same old problems
Open your eyes you might see
If our lives were that simple
We`d live in the past
If the phone doesn`t ring
It`s me

If the phone doesn`t ring
You`ll know that it`s me
I`ll be out in the eye of the storm
If the phone doesn`t ring
You know that I`ll be
Where someone can make me feel warm

It`s too bad we can`t turn
And live in the past
If the phone doesn`t ring
It`s me

It`s me, it`s me
It`s me, it`s me
It`s me, it`s me
It`s me, it`s me

If it takes all the future
We`ll live through the past
If the phone doesn`t ring
It`s me
