She lifts the phone up to her lips
And waits for me to say hello
I hear her breathing on the line
And she's waiting, waiting and now

I sit in silence and tears begin to fall
and she says why don't you say anything at all
If you just sit there then why'd you even call
She lays the phone down

She cooks his dinner right at six
And waits for him to say hello
She's at the door and she is fine
and she's waiting, waiting and now I sit in silence and tears begin to fall

and she says why don't you say anything at all
If you just sit there then why'd you even call
I lay the phone down
