Lyrics

The Calling

You don't hear me

You don't see me

You don't even know I'm alive

So why do you call me?

I have young things

And they need me

What on Earth can I do for you?

So, why do you call me now?

You don't love me

You don't know me

Is this some kind of game for you?

Is that why you've called me?
