Radio Operator

Radio operator in a tiny foreign room

We can hear you now and later

Calling out and coming through

Radio operator, you're a voice so far from home

With a signal like a heartbeat

Not afraid, but so alone

[Chorus]

Where are the messages for me?

The secret code for parts unknown

I'll ride the signal to the world

And to the girl in San Antone

Radio operator, do you ever think of me?

'Cause I'm a gleam on some horizon

Just too far away to see

Radio operator, there are still messages to send

From the future, from the present

And it never has to end

[Chorus]

Where are the messages for me?

The secret code for parts unknown

I'll ride the signal to the world

And to the girl in San Antone

[Instrumental Break]

Radio operator, I am calling like a friend

From my future, from your memory

And it never has to end

This message will not end
