Sleeping With The Telephone

[Verse 1] I knew who he was When I took his name But some how no one Is just not the same at night He knows the danger But he does what he does He calls it duty But I call it love So here I am While he's gone To some foreign land [Chorus] And I cry Because I'm alone And the nights get so cold and long And I try not to think he won't come home But I'm sleeping with the telephone [Verse 2] The yellow ribbon on my neighbor's gate Always reminds me that someone's awake Just like me I hear the sirens And I watch the news He laughs and leaves with his gun And his blue uniform And I pray God keeps him safe from harm [Chorus] [Verse 3] I loose him in my darkest dreams And my blood runs cold and my heart skips a beat So I get up, I can't take anymore Sometimes I hate how much I love him But everyday, I love him more [Chorus] [Outro] Something wakes me from where he should be I reach for him, the telephone rings
