Il testo della Sleeping with the telephone

I knew who he was when i took his name
But some how knowing is just not the same late 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 hes gone to some foreign land

And i cry cause im all alone
And the nights get so cold and long
And i try not to think he wont come home
But im sleeping with the telephone

The yellow ribbon on my neighbors gate
Always reminds me that someones 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

And i cry cause im all alone
And the nights get so cold and long
And i try not to think he wont come home
But im sleeping with the telephone

I lose him in my darkest dreams
And my blood runs cold and my heart skips a beat
So i get up, i cant take anymore
And sometimes i hate how much i love him
But everyday i love him more

And i try not to think he wont come home
But im sleeping with the telephone

Something wakes me from where he should be
I reach for him, the telephone rings
