Sleeping With The Telephone Lyrics

Faith
i knew he was when i took his name
in somehow knowin’
its just not the same late at night
he knows the danger
but he does what he does
he does his duty
but i call it love
so here i am
while he’s gone
to some foreign land

Both
and i cry
casue 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

Reba
the yellow ribbon on my neighbor’s gate
always reminds me that someone’s awake
just like me
i hear 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

Both
and i cry
cause 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

Reba
i loose him in my darkest dreams

Faith
and my blood runs cold
and my heart skips a beat

Reba
so i get up
i can’t take anymore

Both
sometimes i hate how much i love him
but everyday i love him more

Both
and i try not to think he won’t come home
but i’m sleeping with the telephone

Faith
something awakes me from where he should be
i reach for him….the telephone rings
