(another one of the late 80's songs from 'not a songwriter'..lol...mr mewitt--are you out there??

v.1
you call me up
to say youre fine
but i can read
between the lines
the hesitation in the air
rings loud and clear
you call me up
just once a year
but i can feel
the empty tear
the vacancy in your voice
cant tell a lie

*chorus 1
wont you give me one more chance
to be the friend that i can be
wont you trust me
with your inner world
i listen to the air tonite
thats flowing through the telephone
the silence is the word
that tells the truth

v.2
you called to say
that things have changed
that somehow
time has rearranged
but what you mean
is not the words you say
youve failed to say
whats on your mind
and i know
you think i'm blind
but i can see straight through
your wall of fear

**churus 2
have you forgotten who i am
forgotten where the two of us stand
forgotten where
the barriers would fall
i know theres something in your heart
it wrestles with the wire tonite
i'd like to share it with you
if i could

***
dont ever forget my name
reach for me and
i will hold your hand
dont ever forget, my friend
trust is the key
that lets us in
