All Night Operator

Can't you hear me talking 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 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
