Answer the Call

The darkness overtook the lights, Hanging from the Shelby bridge Reaching out across the Cumberland to the East And though the heat from this coffee cup, warms my fingers to the bone My heart is far from Nashville, Tennessee See my lover, she lies waiting over salt and sea, over ten thousand miles to what we call home And the only constellation I can lean upon, Is knowing love, even when we're alone Cause there's a sound I hear, that echoes through my bones It's a bellowing cry I've heard before Like the evening stars, guide the sailor home Honey, I'll answer the call Well, I know our words are tainted, with a crackle now and then But I know it's something that we're both strong enough to take When I say I love you, well it carries no less weight, than when you're safe in my arms upon our bed Cause I'm here for awhile, and that's something I can't change, If I could, you know well that I'd be there There ain't nothing left to fear, darling I'm all yours And I'll try my very best to let you know That there's a sound I hear That echoes through my bones It's a bellowing cry I've heard before Like the evening stars, guide the sailor home Honey, I'll answer the call There's a sound I hear That echoes through my bones It's a bellowing cry I've heard before Like the evening stars, guide the sailor home, Oh honey, I'll answer the call Honey, I'll answer the call Honey, I'll answer the call
