No Telephone by Mike Owocki

Lyrics: No Telephone
-
Try me again, try me again, I will show you that I know
How to give the love you gave to me such a long, long time ago
Try me again, try me again, I want to hold you in my arms
Skin on skin, baby, soul on soul
Come on now, yeah
Let’s celebrate your charms
Just like we used to do
It’s just me and you
-
Walk with me baby, talk with me, if only for a while
We can make it up to the house, it’s just another mile
There we can laugh and play
You and me alone
Then go back and spend the whole week
Talkin’ on the telephone, telephone
Just like we used to do, it’s just me and you
-
I could never keep up with your record-breaking pace
‘til you blew a shoe out and dropped out of the race
You know baby that race was my saving grace, it let me take you home
Got no need for no telephone
It’s always you and me sitting around the house, naked
You and me alone
Just like it used to be, it’s just you and me
-
Nights are long, days are slow, as we make our way
Got no need for no telephone, you are always in my way
Slow down, sit down, look around, there’s more to life than all these dreams
We might miss out if we don’t see, that the world, the whole world, is better than it seems
-
Years ago, I used to walk around, to find some rest myself
Wondering if there was anything, or maybe even anyone else
Oh no, no, but that first kiss up at Kandahar, just you and me up on the slope, under the pine tree, uphill downhill masquerade it was our debut escapade
Soft, warm, wet, and wonderful
-
Three long years baby they ground down by, you give a call, you start to cry baby cry
Stood my ground and prayed, in this game of life our hand had been played
You know it don’t bother me none, now, yeah
It’s always off the track, that’s where we go to run
To the lighthouse on the way, that smooth rock beach, it’s where we play
Camp out until there is no light, join the stars in astral flight
-
Forever and a day, we won’t fade away
Skin on skin, soul on soul
Together, yes and forever
We will sail our own way
