Lyrics

Lines Running North

[2003 CD Edition Bonus Track]

She didn't answer the letters

She didn't return my calls

All the sweet nothings, deep meaning and pleadings still whisper around in the lines

Running north...

She didn't come to the playground

She didn't pick up the phone

So all that I think about coming to England is lost in the humming of lines

Running north....

Can't you hear?

Can't you hear?

Can't you hear?

Can't you hear?

She's in a car in the country

I'm in a house in the town

She doesn't know of those telegram notes

Of yelling and swearing and crying

Can't you hear?

Can't you hear?

I'm talking to nothing but time

I'm talking to you in the lines

Running north...
