Calling Home - Afterallogy - Lyrics

Calling Home

Music: Pat Metheny

Lyrics: Achinoam Nini (Noa)

Hey there, tell me what’s going on

It’s hard for me to feel you when you’re far away

You know, I worry are you sad or all alone again?

I would do anything,

Just to know, are you happy where you are?

I would do anything,

to be there when you need me and hold you close.

And to kiss your hair….

Sit on your bed, now count to three

Open your eyes…it’s me…

Hey there, everyone says hello

I try to keep them posted on your whereabouts,

But all they manage is to be polite and send regards

I want to scream and shout,

Do you know, there’s a crater in my heart?

I want to scream and shout!

Do you know I’ve perfected the painful art,

Of an empty space

Sit on my bed,

Pick up the phone,

Hear your voice say:

I’m home….
