Cry Baby Cry

I woke up to the soft ring of the payphone in the hall

My old landlady answered it, gave me a call

When I got to the phone, the switchboard told me

"Hold the line." I'm in no rush to talk to no one

I need the time

Hang up

Let's call it a day

I've been a-searching long but it's

Hard to come by on the telephone today

Hang up

Let's call it a day

I've been a-searching long but it's

Hard to come by on the telephone today

I'm stood here peeling wallpaper, life without a chase

I think of what I have to say, decisions that I face

Hope the phone will make it easy to open up my mind

Should I slip back to a dream?

Leave it all behind?

Hang up

Let's call it a day

I've been searching long but it's hard

To come by on the telephone today

Hang up

Let's call it a day

I've been searching long but it's hard

To come by on the telephone today

The paintings on this wall of mine reflect my state of mind

But unlike you and me, babe, stood the test of time

Once again, I hear your voice, never seems the same

I know it's oh, so far away

No choice of my own

You said you needed time alone to ease your troubled way

I gave you time and I've done some thinking, listen when I say

Hang up

Let's call it a day

I've been searching long but it's hard

To come by on the telephone today

Hang up

Let's call it a day

I've been searching long but it's hard

To come by on the telephone today

Let's call it a day

I've been searching so long but it's

Hard to come by on the telephone today

Hang up

Let's call it a day

I've been searching so long but it's

Hard to come by on the telephone today

Hang up

Let's call it a day

I've been searching so long but it's

Hard to come by on the telephone today
