I hear you on the telephone
You're breathing on the line
I see your face so clearly now
Though you're only in my mind
You're smiling as you tell me that
you love me day by day
And I count the time that is ticking
And I know you're far away.
The rain is falling falling
The thunder rolls and roars
The seconds tick the time away
I know the lightning's far away.
I tell you that I love you and that
I hope I'll be home soon.
The weather it is fright'ning
I cannot see the silver moon
But I know she's out there, and I know
you're out there too
Oh, I'll be with you tomorrow
If I have to jump the moon.
The rain is falling falling
The thunder rolls and roars
The seconds tick the time away
I know the lightning's far away.
